Working Safely in Uni

In todays lesson we went over some basic health and safety stuff and worked a little with power tools. This allows us access to power tools in the future which will be helpful for set and prop building. Most of the stuff was pretty basic, sweep up sawdust, how to use a transformer properly ect ect. I am pretty familiar with this sort of thing as I have done some building work but it is good to be allowed to do woodwork in the eyes of the university.

We also talked to the safety officer, mainly about lifting safely and not damaging our backs. Again I have done a lot of this before but it was good to get a refresher. Finally we looked at the walls we will be using for our sets. It will be a challenge to get them looking professional with little resources and funding but the set walls themselves seem relatively cheap and effective.
