Studio A Safety

Getting A Shine On - Safely

Since the hot studio rules were mentioned, it's good to also discuss the other area. Jewelry tools do require care.

Buffer Safety Rules

• No sleeves longer than elbow
• No jewelry, rings, bracelets or dangly items on hands or wrists
• No necklaces around neck - choking danger
• No long tailed shirts or strings on clothing necklines or pants waistbands
• Safety glasses required
• Empty box located behind the buffer to catch flying objects
• Good lighting in buffing area
• Turn buffer wheel off when turning away or bending down to pick up dropped items
• Hold onto items with both hands very tightly to prevent flyaways and flingings
• Get up every hour and stretch and walk around the studio for five minutes
• Never walk away from a running buffer wheel, always turn off
• When fatigued, do something else for a while
• Take time, don't rush
• ENJOY the process, seeing the results is the payoff of all the work that went before

The buffer used on front, back and sides gives a beautiful flawless finish. Very graphic and striking.
