Common sense guidelines to ensure that members work in a safe and practical fashion:
  1. Always use professional paints and products as recommended by the Association.
  2. Do not paint a child with a cold sore or any other apparent skin disease.
  3. Use clean utensils, wash containers, brushes and sponges thoroughly after each session. Try to keep them clean during the session.
  4. Change brush water frequently.
  5. Be extra careful when painting near the eyes, especially on very young children and those unable to keep still.
  6. Clean any dirt or food from a childs face before starting. Look out for runny noses!
  7. Do not add disinfectant to the water as the paint already contains agents which act against yeast, mould and bacteria.
  8. It is essential that you have your own public liability insurance or that you are covered by the policy of the company you are working for.
