• Nontoxic and water-based paint are poisonous
ingested and can be irritating if they come into
contact with the skin.
• Powdered paints should also be avoided
they pose an inhalation hazard.
• Rubber cement, turpentine, paint thinner, lead-
based dyes and spray paint are additional
hazards that should be kept out of reach of
children.

• Pencils are made with graphite, rather than lead
and are not considered a hazard. Colored
pencils have pigments added to the graphite,
the amounts are small so that there is no
significant risk of exposure.

Art Supplies
• Charcoal is usually made from willow or vine
sticks. Although charcoal is just considered a
nuisance dust, inhalation of large amounts of
charcoal dust can create chronic lung problems
through a mechanical irritation and clogging
effect. A major source of charcoal inhalation is
from the habit of blowing excess charcoal dust
off the drawing.

• Colored chalks are also considered nuisance
dusts. Some chalks are dustier than others.
Individuals who have asthma sometimes have
problems with dusty chalks, but this is a
nonspecific dust reaction, not a toxic reaction.
7. SAFETY REGULATIONS IN THE
WORKPLACE
HAZARDS IN A DRAWING ROOM
Art Supplies
• Permanent felt tip markers used in design or
graphic arts contain solvents. Xylene, which is a
highly toxic aromatic hydrocarbon, is the most
common ingredient; newer brands often
the less toxic propyl alcohol (although it is an
eye, nose and throat irritant). The major hazard
from using permanent markers results from
using a number of them at the same time at
close range.
8. SAFETY REGULATIONS IN THE
WORKPLACE
HAZARDS IN A DRAWING ROOM
Old materials
• It's hard to know what ingredients are in certain
drawing supplies, and that could lead to the
students being exposed to dangerous chemicals
other substances.
• Even unopened drawing supplies, such as paint or
glue, can contain ingredients you aren't aware of,
so it's always better to use new materials.
9. SAFETY REGULATIONS IN THE
WORKPLACE
HAZARDS IN A DRAWING ROOM
Additional hazards
• Watch for spills and wipe them up immediately to
prevent anyone from slipping and falling.
• Ask students to keep food and drink out of the
area so it's not accidentally contaminated by
hazardous drawing supplies.
• Provide gloves to students with open sores on their
hands.
10. SAFETY REGULATIONS IN THE
WORKPLACE
WORKPLACE SAFETY RULES
• Don’t use acids, alkalies, bleaches, or any product that will stain skin or clothing.
• Don’t use aerosol cans because the spray can injure lungs.
• Use dust-producing materials (such as pastels, clays, plasters, chalks, powdered tempera,
pigments, dyes, and instant papier-mâché, except the premixed cellulose type) with care in a
well-ventilated area (or better yet, don’t use them at all).
• Don’t use solvents (including lacquers, paint thinners, turpentines, shellacs, solvent-based inks,
rubber cement, and permanent markers) in the art room.
• Don’t use found or donated materials unless the ingredients are known.
• Don’t use old materials. Many art supplies formerly contained highly dangerous substances,
such as arsenic, or raw lead compounds, or high levels of asbestos. Older solvents may contain
chloroform or carbon tetrachloride

WORKPLACE SAFETY RULES
Working conditions in the room also affect safety. A disorderly room leads to unsafe
conditions, particularly when there are many people working close to each other. Controlling the
buildup of litter and dust, insuring that tools are in good condition, and keeping workspace
reasonably organized not only help prevent common accidents but also make it easier to
recognize and eliminate other hazards. An orderly room is absolutely essential to the students’
and teacher’s safety.
12. HOW TO KEEP YOUR WORKPLACE CLEAN (5S)
5S is a system for organizing spaces so work
can be performed efficiently, effectively, and safely.
This system focuses on putting everything where it
belongs and keeping the workplace clean, which
makes it easier for people to do their jobs without
wasting time or risking injury.

15. HOW TO KEEP YOUR WORKPLACE CLEAN (5S)
Sort (Seiri)
It involves going through all the
tools, furniture, materials,
equipment, etc. in a work area to
determine what needs to be present
and what can be removed.

16. HOW TO KEEP YOUR WORKPLACE CLEAN (5S)
Set in Order (Seiton)
Once the extra clutter is gone, it's
easier to see what's what. Now work
groups can come up with their own
strategies for sorting through the
remaining items.

21. CONTROL MEASURES:
METHODS OF CONTROLLING
HAZARDS AND RISKS
1. Eliminate the hazard
Elimination of the hazard is not always
achievable though it does totally remove
the hazard and thereby eliminates the risk
of exposure.
2. Substitute the hazard with a
lesser risk
Substituting the hazard may not remove all
of the hazards associated with the process
or activity and may introduce different
hazards but the overall harm or health
effects will be lessened.
22. CONTROL MEASURES:
METHODS OF CONTROLLING

3. Isolate the hazard
Isolating the hazard is achieved by
restricting access to equipment or in the
case of substances locking them away
under strict controls.
4. Use engineering controls
Engineering Controls involve redesigning a
process to place a barrier between the
person and the hazard or remove the
hazard from the person.
23. CONTROL MEASURES:

5. Use administrative controls
Administrative controls include adopting
standard operating procedures or safe
practices or providing appropriate training,
instruction or information to reduce the
potential for harm and/or adverse health
effects to person(s).
6. Use personal protective
equipment
Personal protective equipment (PPE)
include gloves, glasses, earmuffs, aprons,
safety footwear, dust masks which are
designed to reduce exposure to the
hazard.
25. Common types of emergencies
DISASTER PREPAREDNESS AND
MANAGEMENT
• fires or explosions
• medical emergencies
• severe weather
• earthquakes
• major power failures
• hazardous material spills
Why prepare for emergencies
• Keep employees and responders free from harm
• Manage life-threatening situations
• Minimize damage to the environment, equipment,
machinery, tools, etc.
• Minimize downtime
In a workplace, it is important
that you know how to
• Identify common types of emergencies
• Respond if you encounter a situation
• Respond when an emergency alarm is
activated
• Ask your employer for more information
and training
