What safety protocols prevent injuries when handling sharp-edged wrought iron abstract sculptures?
Handling sharp-edged wrought iron abstract sculptures requires strict safety protocols to prevent injuries. First, always wear protective gear, including cut-resistant gloves, long sleeves, and safety goggles, to shield against cuts and flying debris. Second, inspect the sculpture for loose or jagged edges before moving it, and use padded tools or clamps to secure unstable parts. Third, lift with proper techniques—bend at the knees, keep the sculpture close to your body, and avoid sudden movements. For large or heavy pieces, use a team or mechanical aids like dollies. Finally, store sculptures in stable, well-marked areas to minimize accidental contact. By following these measures, artists and handlers can safely manage these striking yet hazardous artworks.
