Orange County Blacksmith Guild
Familiarize yourself with the layout of the shop.
Exits, Fire extinguishers, Quench Tubs
First Aid Kit.
We are a coal burning blacksmith shop
That means their will be some smoke exposure
Blacksmithing means working with hot metal
That means we need to be careful not just with yourself, but, with the people around you. Do not walk around with a hot piece of metal, set it o the forge and call or get your instructor.
Burns can happen. If possible your first reaction should be to quench the burn in the water to begin cooling. Then call for your instructor.
Synthetic materials will melt if a spark should hit, it will stick to skin, cotton, wool, natural materials are much safer.
Their is a white first aid box just to the right of the door.
Get your instructor to assist.
