   - __Manage contamination__ - Every effort must be made to limit resin contamination. Plastic trays are available for use when post-processing finished prints. Gloves should be changed if they are excessively contaminated.
   - __Cleaning is mandatory__ - Printers must be emptied of leftover resin after every use. Build plates must also be cleaned with alcohol after each use. Use a filter funnel to return all unused resin from the resin vat to its original container. Use a **plastic** scraper to genty squeegee resin from the vat film. Isopropyl alcohol should be used to clean the build platform and the resin vat. Proper cleaning procedure is covered during certification training.
-  - __**Absolutely no resin or resin-contaminated alcohol should go down the sink**__ - A chemical waste storage bucket is available for safe disposal of alcohol and degraded resins.
