Health and Safety

Reprinted from the CARFAC/Toronto Artscape Inc. publication:
Doing Homework: Educating Yourself as a Warehouse

Artists living in warehouses are particularly vulnerable to health and safety risks. The Building Code requirements for industrially-zoned buildings do not impose very exacting standards from a resident’s viewpoint. These health standards cover requirements such as adequate heating from mid-September through May, proper ventilation and natural lighting, drinkable water, shower or bath facilities and hot running water.
