Health & Safety & Disposal

• When handling powdered ceramic materials, you must wear an FFP3/P2 face mask and nitrile gloves to prevent inhalation and skin contact.
• Wear a wipeable apron, polyester overalls, or similar. Clean or wash frequently.
• Always clean your studio with a wet sponge rather than sweeping to stop dust from becoming airborne.
• When preparing glazes, add the dry material to water, not vice-versa, to minimise dust formation.
• Do not allow eating and drinking in the studio and thoroughly wash hands when leaving.
• Never eat, drink, or apply cosmetics in areas where clay or glazes are handled.
• Ensure emergency eye-washing facilities are available in the room.
• Review official guidelines regarding studio ventilation and chemical management routinely.

Dolomite is not classified as a hazardous substance for supply or transport. However, as a nuisance dust, it poses minor occupational risks and requires standard safety precautions under UK COSHH regulations. 

Dispose of as normal industrial waste, in accordance with local/regional/national/international regulations.
