Good practice

Before you start work make yourself aware of these simple rules to keep you safe.

Wear protective clothing and glasses or goggles to prevent eye contact Always read the health and safety advice on labels Avoid solvents on your skin. Solvent wiping will degrease your skin and can lead to dermatitis. Always work in ventilated areas and allow plenty of airflow. Wear a suitable respirator if in doubt Always wet-sand anti-foul as the dust is toxic Do not eat or smoke when handling paint Keep cans sealed and dispose of waste paint at a re-cycle centre
