Equipment in the Painting areas is very simple, and elemental, consisting of an easel, table, and painting materials. The major safety concern would be flammable and hazardous solvents (see Appendices).

These solvents are used only at the Star Store Campus, since their use is prohibited in CVPA, UMass Dartmouth Campus.

1. Use of oil and oil painting solvents are prohibited at the Dartmouth Campus. All painting is restricted to non-flammable, non-hazardous materials.
2. All flammable and hazardous solvents used at the Star Store studios must be kept in closed containers and stored in individual lockers after use.
3. Solvent soaked rags must be placed in an approved, self-closing waste disposal can that is emptied on a regular basis.
