Typical hazards & measures
Group debriefing and creative reflection
— At session end, hold a short debrief to discuss successes, hazards encountered, and lessons learned. Collect feedback and adapt tools/material use or layout for next session.
Sharp tools and cutting equipment
— Provide age-appropriate scissors, craft knives, and cutting mats. Demonstrate safe cutting techniques, supervise when in use, and collect tools immediately afterwards. Sharpened blades should be stored safely between uses.
Hot tools: glue guns, irons, and heat
— Use low-temperature glue guns or iron-on tools with tracking. Ensure cords are safe and long enough. Create a “hot zone” with clear signage and place protective surfaces. Supervise heat-based craft closely, and have burn first-aid ready.
Sharp waste and tool disposal
— Provide puncture-proof containers for blades, broken glass, or snapped tools. Train participants not to handle discarded sharps. Empty containers regularly and secure before disposal.
Repetitive strain and posture
— Provide appropriately sized tables and chairs. Encourage regular breaks and varied tasks. Supply wrist rests for precision work, monitor posture, and rotate standing/seated tasks during long projects.
