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

Always read the health and safety advice on labels. Wear
protective clothing and glasses or goggles to prevent eye contact. Avoid
solvents on your skin by wearing suitable gloves. Always work in
well-ventilated areas and allow plenty of airflow. If in doubt, wear a suitable
respirator. Take care when wet-sanding old antifouling as the dust can be toxic.

Do not eat or smoke when handling paint. Keep cans sealed
when not in use and dispose of waste paint, brushes and old cans at a recycle
centre.
