The information provided in this guide is a resource for students, staff and faculty working in the Florida State University Department of Art.
All information is only an assessment of potential hazards and recommended precautions. As artists our materials, tools and studio spaces have inherent chemical, mechanical, fire and electrical hazards. We are individually responsible for understanding and taking the necessary precautions to protect our own health and the health of our peers.
All students should expect to receive in-class training and information before using chemicals or machinery at FSU.
