A student is building a piece of furniture for an experience. The wood will require cutting with a band saw, gluing with an epoxy, sanding down, and then varnishing. Luckily, a family friend is a carpenter and they have agreed to loan the student the materials, and even be their supervisor for the experience. The student and supervisor set up the equipment in the family kitchen, the student is shown how to use the equipment, and then they get to work on the experience:
They are under supervision whilst using the electrical tools, but not the glue or varnish.
They wear gloves whilst using the glue and varnish, but not the electrical tools.
Where is the safeguarding issue?
They should have worn gloves for the entire experience to protect them from the tools
They should have been supervised for the entire experience to avoid harm from the chemicals
They should have done the varnishing in a more ventilated spade to avoid inhaling the fumes
They should have used the band saw and sander in a private space to protect their family from harm
