* USE ARTS AND CRAFT MATERIALS SAFELY ** OBJECTIVES 1. understanding the project plan and safety and precautions in making handicrafts 2. appreciate and value the importance of safety rules ** CONTENT *** HEALTH RISKS Health risks speaks for itself, everything is a health risk, one of them are cuts, they are the most common type of injury, it usually comes working with arts and crafts materials, if you dont know what cuts are, i wonder if you ever felt pain On other terms, there are some crafts that can cause burns, irritation to skin or even eyes, a glue gun being exposed to raw skin of a human is an example of a burn, and based on personal experience, please dont burn yourself, the feeling is the same feeling of being burned alive Another health risk is the toxic dust and fumes that we humans inhale without even knowing, it is best to work outside when making a dusty craft, if you do it inside, ill be hearing terrible news from your family the next day or two (please dont @ me) Sometimes making crafts can get you poisoned just because you ingested an item that shouldnt be digested, if you have a kid, please keep them away from the materials that can kill them. *** WHAT TO DO TO PREVENT THESE GENERAL RISKS 1.
