Hello, first time posting on here as I really need some advice. I am a self employed jewellery (2 years) and have recently found out I'm pregnant. I can't find much info online about safety precautions I should be taking. Can anyone give me any advice on this as I am slightly paranoid (first pregnancy!)
At the moment I work mainly in silver, so soldering, pickling, finishing/polishing (with dremel and also barrel tumbler/electromagnetic). I have also been plating my own silver pieces in gold but have been advised by the company I buy the plating chemicals from that this is out of bounds so I have decided just to send away for plating now as I am not willing to take any risks.
I have just bought a proper 3M mask (model 4277) and some safety gloves, should that cover me in terms of safety?
Thanks in advance for your help!
