GOAL: $4000 raised toward installing a combination eyewash and safety shower station in our etching room.

This giving option allows for flexible donation amounts. Every dollar donated will be used to offset the cost of purchasing this item.

The Giving Tree is an annual tradition where auction-goers can choose to donate directly to our programs by purchasing from our wish list for studio equipment. The CCP community benefits enormously from Giving Tree donations, as they cover much-needed goods and services useful for our staff and artists throughout the year.

As a private employer, CCP is obligated to follow State and Federal regulations that are listed by OSHA (Occupational Health and Safety Association). As we use ferric chloride, a hazardous chemical, in the amounts of five gallons or more, we are obligated by OSHA to have a plumbed emergency shower and eyewash station installed nearby our etching facilities. Having an eyewash station would also give us great relief in that we are providing the safest working environment possible for our members, artists, and staff.

The goal of $4000 for this giving tree item covers the cost of materials and labor in a quote provided to us by Jacozzi Plumbing and Heating of Fairfield County, who has installed fixtures like these in institutions around the state of Connecticut.
