Last update

Like any other profession, there are
many health and safety hazards associated with kiln glass. In my "day job," I
am a certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH -
www.ABIH.org) and a Certified Safety Professional (CSP -
www.BCSP.org).
The information presented here is "good
science" and my personal professional opinion based on experience since 1982 in
the health & safety field and over 15 years of working with glass. Hope
this information is useful!
