Health and safety issues being ignored by many design studios, claims research
January 4, 2008
North Yorkshire-based art materials supplier Graphics Direct surveyed 100 studios throughout the north and found that less than half had taken precautions regarding the extraction of harmful fumes. While 82 respondents admitted to using solvents, adhesives and fixatives in the preparation of artwork, only 50 had installed a spray booth – a self-contained unit fitted with an extractor fan – to take away the often-toxic fumes Only six of those not using a booth said they were considering acquiring one. Prolonged exposure to some studio materials can seriously damage workers' health.
