    We are having trouble with paint spillage at events. I would love to see other schools’ student union policies on paint usage.

    its a little more expensive but we have switched to pre-filled paint pots. has really cut down on accidents (and easier to distribute if the person wishes to take and go). of course also covering all surfaces with plastic table covers, …

    Hello Heather!

    We have also switched to using a lot more paint packs due to the pandemic and I think it has helped minimize the spills. We have restrictions on the locations paint can be used (no spaces with carpet) and have a preferred location with brick flooring. All paint events have to cover the furniture in disposable plastic coverings (we buy rolls that the student orgs can sign out) and the floor has a tarp put down by our event set up crew. If the paint is a small portion of the event we sometimes forgo covering the floor.?

    Hope this helps!
