Class Agreements

All students will be required to read, discuss, and ask any questions they might have about the Third Coast Clay Health and Safety Policies

​

• Prepare yourself for the use of machinery/equipment (wheels, slab roller) by securing your clothing, hair, and jewelry.

​

• Inhaling foreign substances is one of the biggest health hazards in the ceramic studio. Be sure you have adequate ventilation for either dust or fumes before proceeding with a project. Please sand all work outdoors.

​

• Keep your attention focused on both the machine and on the operation you wish to perform with it.

​

• Be alert for any unusual sounds, loose parts, dull blades, or poor adjustments when turning on or operating a machine. Alert your instructor to the situation before continuing to use the machine. Never force a machine to do work. Report any gas, electrical, or mechanical hazards immediately.

​

• All sharp tools must be handled with attention and care. Walk with sharp ends pointing down and never run with sharp tools.

​

• Clean up scrap clay, plaster, glaze, or other scrap materials when finished with an operation. Return any machine/equipment to a state of readiness for the next person to use. Also return all hand-held machines to their proper storage area and clean off all workbenches of foreign or scrap material. Dispose of them properly. Scrap materials, especially clay dust, can be a health and fire hazard, and should be cleaned up daily.

​

• All accidents, large or small, must be reported immediately to the instructor or person in charge.

​

• First Aid equipment has been provided in the bathroom storage area.

​

Third Coast Clay expects all students will abide by the safety and health procedures outlined in this document. Repeated violations will bring into question whether the student involved will be allowed to continue in the course.

I will hold neither Third Coast Clay, its associates, employees, nor affiliates to be responsible for any injury, accident, or death sustained while on the premises.
