Risk Assessment
- Using scissors- be careful of the blades. Always keep an eye on what you are cutting to avoid injury. NEVER run with them either, always hold the bladed end if you must walk with them to avoid harm to others.
- Wrist Strain- It is important to take breaks from drawing, cutting etc, to avoid a strain which could end up jeopardizing the whole project as a result, as well as injury to self.
- Allergies- Confirm with your doctor first for advice on what products to use to avoid allergic reactions.
- Paint- Make sure that you do not splash paint in to your eyes, this may cause massive injury. If this did occur, wash eye out immediately with warm water.
- Paper- If you handle paper wrong, and move too fast with it, you may end up with a paper cut. These are very painful and easy to avoid if you slow down and do not rush. The same applies to card.
- Glitter- Glitter can be very painful if you get it in your eye. If this occurs, wash eye out immediately with warm water.
- Buttons- These are very small objects and may cause to be a choking hazard if placed in the wrong hands(E.g/ Children). To avoid this risk, don’t put in to wrong hands in the first place.
- Pens- Pen ink can be quite poisonous. Do not eat the pen ink, the tips can also be quite sharp. It is best not to draw on yourself with pens, it may result in blood poisoning. Because they are sharp, do not get contact near eyes.
