Appropriate safety must be worn when casting metals. Aprons, gloves and leggings should be leather as this offers the most protection is a spillage of molten aluminium occurs. Normal textile material burns through very quickly and should not be used for the casting process.

In addition, strong, leather shoes should be worn at all times in the workshop as they offer the best protection for feet. In industry shoes with steel toe caps are a basic requirement.

QUESTIONS:
Draw a diagram of a person suitably dressed with the appropriate safety clothing, for casting molten aluminium.
