The statement suggests that the person does not wear eye safety gear because they don't feel like it. This is not a valid reason for not wearing eye safety gear. Eye safety gear is important to protect the eyes from potential hazards and prevent injuries. It is always recommended to wear appropriate eye safety gear when necessary, regardless of personal preferences or feelings. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

The statement suggests that there are no restrictions or limitations on when a tool can be used. However, the correct answer is False because in reality, the use of tools may be subject to certain conditions, such as availability, appropriateness for the task at hand, or permission from authorities.

Rubbing your eyes can introduce dirt, bacteria, and other irritants into your eyes, which can lead to infections or other eye problems. Washing your hands before touching your eyes helps to minimize the risk of introducing these harmful substances. Therefore, if you have not recently washed your hands, it is recommended to refrain from rubbing your eyes. Hence, the statement "I can never rub my eyes unless I have recently washed my hands" is true.

The statement contradicts the common practice in metal work where safety regulations require workers to wear appropriate protective clothing, such as coveralls, gloves, and safety boots, to minimize the risk of injury. Wearing a nice dress would not provide the necessary protection and could potentially lead to accidents or harm. Therefore, the statement is false.

The correct answer is a T-shirt or rolled up long sleeve shirt, shorts/pants, no jewellery, and non open-toed shoes. This is the appropriate clothing to wear in a shop because it allows for comfort and ease of movement while also adhering to safety regulations. Wearing loose and baggy clothing may pose a risk of getting caught in machinery or fixtures. Having tons of jewellery can be distracting and may also get caught in objects. A really cute dress and jewellery may not be practical for a shop environment.

Rubbing your eyes can introduce bacteria and irritants into your eyes, which can cause infections or irritation.

Asking the teacher, wearing gloves, or rubbing your eyes whenever you feel like it are not valid reasons and may increase the risk of eye infections or irritation.

The correct answer is "only assigned projects." This means that in metal work, the person can only work on projects that have been specifically assigned to them. They are not able to choose any project they want or follow instructions from their friend or imaginary friend.

This means that the statement "I don't need to know where the location of fire extinguishers, first aid kits, eye wash stations and emergency power shut off buttons" is not true. In fact, it is important to know the location of these safety equipment and emergency controls in order to respond effectively in case of an emergency.

By turning off the power, the machines are rendered inactive and any potential danger is minimized. Therefore, the statement is true.

If I hurt myself, I do need to tell the teacher.

Safety glasses and face shields are necessary to protect the eyes and face from potential hazards such as flying debris, chemicals, or paint splatters. It is important to wear them at all times while using any shop tool or applying paint to projects to ensure maximum safety. Wearing them only when using power tools, when feeling like it, or when instructed by the teacher may not provide adequate protection in all situations, therefore the correct answer is to wear them at all times.

The correct answer is "all of the above" because when you are in a shop, you should act responsibly by following the rules and regulations, being mindful of other customers, and not causing any damage. Acting professionally means treating the shop staff with respect, being polite, and not engaging in any inappropriate behavior. Lastly, you should act safely by being aware of your surroundings, following any safety guidelines, and not endangering yourself or others. Therefore, all of these behaviors are expected when you are in a shop.
