Safety is always a concern when working around hot glass. Standard workshop safety is universal. If you have long hair it should be put up and out of the way. Cotton clothing is a must, synthetics melt and that's no fun. Contacts are not recommended for the same reason. Bring a pair of old cotton tube socks that can be used as a "sleeve" to help protect yourself from the heat. Safety glasses are available upon request, UV rated safety glasses are recommended, no sunglasses.
