This kiln firing safety toolbox talk is designed for teachers, technicians and support staff in school ceramics studios. It covers the key hazards of hot kiln surfaces, silica dust generated during dry fettling, toxic fumes from glaze firing, and the importance of controlled access during firing cycles. The talk provides practical DO actions such as checking temperature controls, ensuring a minimum 30 m³/min ventilation flow, wearing P3 respirators (BS EN 149) and EN 374‑III gloves, using wet fettling methods, and monitoring CO/VOC levels with calibrated detectors (BS EN 50291). It also lists DON’T behaviours like bypassing interlocks, handling dry silica without PPE, and allowing unsupervised student access.
All guidance aligns with UK legislation: Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (Regulations 6 & 7), Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 (Regulation 12), and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 (Regulation 3).
