4. Categorize safety practices in making indigenous crafts

ANSWER:
GENERAL RULES:
▪ Make sure you have all the materials you need in one place. Accidents can
occur when you're hurriedly looking for something or leave the room to get
something you've forgotten.
▪ Arrange all your tools near you. Spreading things out in a semi-circle usually
works well.
▪ Make sure you have enough room to work safely and efficiently. Cramped
spaces can be dangerous.
▪ Always have adequate ventilation when working with chemicals or projects
that produce dust.
▪ Protect your pets and keep them away from the crafts area while you're
working.
▪ Don't leave young children unattended with dangerous tools or toxic
materials even for a few minutes.
▪ Don't eat, drink, or smoke while using art and crafts materials.
▪ Don't use dyes or paints on the skin (for face painting, for example) or in
food, unless the products you buy are specifically meant to be used that
way.
▪ Don't transfer materials to other containers, since you'll lose the information
you need provided on the package. If you must, be sure to cut out the
important information and include it in the container.
▪ Use the right equipment for the job and make sure tools and equipment are
in good working order. Don't work with questionable tools, especially power
tools. If the cord is frayed or something else doesn't seem right, fix it or
replace the tool.
 ▪ Keep your work area clean and continue picking up as you go along. Don't
leave scraps of material or tools lying around.
▪ Keep your work area dry. Water on the floor, counter, or table can be an
electricity hazard or cause a fall. Make sure you have an up-to-date,
complete first-aid kit on hand.
▪ Wash your hands after crafting.
▪ Don't hurry. Make sure you have adequate time to do a project before
starting it.
▪ Don't work when you're tired.
▪ Minimize distractions. Safety requires concentration.

▪ Be careful when using hot tools and flame
▪ Work safely with electricity.
▪ Protect your eyes and ears with the right equipments.
