Having been an art student through graduate school as well a teacher at undergraduate level, I have first hand experience of what is being taught in terms of health and safety in art classes. Unfortunately most art school class rooms would be shut down immediately if they were science labs. There is a strange assumption that artists and art students are cavalier adventurers willing to put their lives at stake for their research and discoveries. It is true we are cavalier. It is not true we want to die young, or encounter health issues. 
 
Many dangerous and toxic situations students and artists put themselves in can be easily averted by using less toxic materials and using best practices in the studio. It is only a matter of proper information. Resources like nontoxicprint are vitally important to the wellbeing and longevity of artists and art teachers.
