🔍 Key Concepts

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requirements for eye protection • Common shipboard tasks that can create flying particles or debris • General safety practice: when in doubt, protect your eyes

💭 Think About

• For each task listed, ask yourself: could this create chips, dust, or fragments that might fly toward my eyes? • Which answer choice best reflects overall safe work practice, not just the minimum requirement? • Think about what a safety inspector or OSHA/USCG training would emphasize about eye protection on deck and in the engine room.

✅ Before You Answer

• For each option, decide if there is a reasonable risk of eye injury from flying particles or debris. • Consider whether safety rules usually apply to just one specific task or to all similar hazardous tasks. • Ask: is there any listed task where it would clearly be unsafe NOT to wear eye protection? If more than one fits that, what does that suggest about the answer choices?
