Mini Safety Guide for Scissors

Please read before using the scissors.

1. Handle with Care

Always hold scissors by the handle, not the blades.

Use two hands when passing scissors to someone else—hold them by the closed blades, with the handle facing the other person.

2. Cut Away from Your Body

Always cut away from your body to prevent accidental injury.

Keep your hands and fingers clear of the blades while cutting.

3. Store Safely

After use, return scissors to their protective case or scissors holder.

Ensure that the scissors are closed and placed in the box properly to avoid accidents when retrieving them later.

4. Check for Damage

Before using, inspect the scissors for damage or loose parts. Do not use damaged scissors, as they can be unsafe.

1. Colour coded text

Use of different colors to represent various time frames or borrower types (e.g., red for overdue, green for returned, blue for borrowed by teachers, yellow for borrowed by students).

Use large, brightly colored tags attached to each scissor box or its storage space so that the status of the loan is instantly visible

2. QR Code System

QR code can be attached to each scissor box that links to a digital form where borrowers can log their name and the date/time of the loan. This adds an easy digital component for real-time tracking.

# data[].attributes.body
Qr code can be pasted on or inside the storage boxes for teachers to scan and show/ read out to students.

Qr code can open a set of slides that teachers can use to share with the class with guides for safety, storage, and stock checking.

Slides can have the quantity of scissors in each individual box to help teachers using keep track of quantity.

Slides can also have qr code that opens a survey to report any missing or broken scissors. (can help dept with stick taking after each year). or have the teacher's contacts for ease of reference for easy contact and reporting.

Give life to art materials. By imagining art materials as living, dynamic elements of the creative process, we can form a deeper connection to the act of making art. For example,

Pencils: Nimble and eager, they dance across the paper, leaving trails of ideas wherever they glide. Whether sketching bold lines or delicate details, they're always ready to respond to the artist's hand.

Paintbrushes: Graceful and fluid, they sweep across the canvas like a breeze, laying down colors with purpose. Each bristle moves in unison, creating strokes that breathe emotion into every layer of paint.
