Through dozens of handy tables, diagrams, and charts, this volume points out dangerous ingredients found in specific brands of paint, dye, and adhesives; simple supplies such as goggles and ladders that keep classrooms and studios safe; and steps that art educators can take to comply with OSHA regulations.

Not only artists, but those who work in school administration, health care, and risk analysis will benefit from the surprising facts revealed.
