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).
