UC Berkeley Glaze Mixing Safety Guide

This job safety analysis document provides hazards and controls for mixing ceramic glazes. Measuring and mixing glaze ingredients can expose workers to harmful powders through inhalation or skin contact. Proper personal protective equipment like dust masks, gloves, and aprons are required to separate workers from the chemicals. Lifting full glaze buckets also risks back strain, so proper lifting techniques should be used. The document was created by the Auxiliary Art Studio for UC Berkeley and provides training and PPE requirements for safely mixing ceramic glazes.
