Equipment must be washed thoroughly Brushes, tools and containers should be used exclusively for clay work. Work surfaces must be wet wiped to avoid dust. Floorings should be mopped and carpets vacuumed. Hands should be washed thoroughly not forgetting to scrub the nails. It is important to minimize the amount of dust in the air that clay can generate. Dust is the biggest health hazard when working with clay and is damaging to lungs. For this reason, all clean-up should be wet-based. Tables and other work surfaces wiped with a wet sponge and continually rinsed, floors wet-mopped, and un-used scraps put into buckets before they dry out. Students should never eat or drink while working with clay to avoid ingesting dust.
