Health + Safety

Shop spaces are inher­ently danger­ous, be it the machines or the mate­ri­als we use, but with the knowl­edge and resources to use them safely, you miti­gate those risks. Our goal is to help you under­stand how to incor­po­rate health + safety into your daily prac­tice. We will discuss the impor­tance of dust collec­tion, using PPE, first aid response, and MSDS/SDS proto­cols. Learn how to prevent and respond to threats in a shop envi­ron­ment by being prepared and educated in essen­tial health + safety!

Our special guest, Missy Graff Ballone from Well­ness for Makers will be joining this session. Missy will share the impor­tance of body mechan­ics in your prac­tice and a little more about what she does for makers!
