[Jewelry making - Article 00570] - [Orchid] Overly cautious about school safety?

Hello Everyone,

    I'm looking for a comprehensive course in jewelry making in my area.
    While looking at photos of a school that has recently opened up
    nearby, I was a bit unsettled to see pictures of students wearing
    their long hair loose while operating torches and flex shafts as
    well as wearing rings while operating the flex shaft. Would it be in
    my best interests to rule out this new school or ought I investigate
    further? 

    What sort of questions should I be asking the people running the
    schools before I register somewhere, and what should I be looking for
    during an on-site visit? Not necessarily just regarding safety
    issues-- my main intent is to get solid fabrication skills in a safe,
    well-equipped environment. Thank you for your input. 

Vivienne
