C2CC Course Exhibitions 3 Handling Equipment for the Safety of the Object and Handler in Mind
Channel: AIC & FAIC
Date: 15/03/2024

The priority of handling any object is to safely move it from Point A to Point B while assuring its inherent care and protect its integrity. At the same time, the handler must be using proper handling techniques to assure their physical safety. Often time we focus so much on the safety of the object that we minimally address the physical needs of the handler. The two must go hand in hand. This webinar will address the equipment and materials used for installation of objects and the releavant handling methods. Case studies will address proven practices within the museum and commercial work environment. Special focus will include current standards of staff safety training and purchasing appropriate safety equipment.
