Synopsis

The first book to deal with safety and health for printmakers, this work addresses such issues as making a studio into a safe workplace, ventilating a studio, how certain materials can effect health and how to be environmentally conscious when working in a craft area. The emphasis of this book is on safe working practices with sections on the particular dangers in each process - intaglio, screen printing, lithography, relief printing and associated photo-processes. A special section is included on how to be environmentally conscious, and the law relating to safety at work is explained in clear terms, along with details of the new COSHH regulations that now effect every print studio.
