Safety equipment

Do your developing in a room with running water that can be made light tight. Bathrooms work best, and windows in them can be covered with material from a photo shop, or anything that you improvise. You may want to wait until dark and turn the lights off in adjoining rooms - whatever works for you and your space. Make sure the space is well ventilated.
