When using the forge pupils should be aware of
the following Hazards

1. Care should be taken when carrying hot metals
   (particularly metals at black heat that may not
   appear hot)
2. Clay bricks should not be heated as they can
   disintegrate violently.
3. Ceramic chips remain hot for a considerable time
   after the heat source has been removed.
4. Foreign materials present in the forge can cause
   fumes. Stones can explode.
5. Quenching of hot materials, particularly tubular
   components can cause risk of scalding.
