🔍 Key Concepts

• Personal protective measures when using air-operated (pneumatic) tools • Typical hose and connection hazards under air pressure • Standard safety checklist behavior before, during, and after tool use

💭 Think About

• For each choice, ask yourself: What specific hazard does this action reduce? Think about flying objects, whipping hoses, and entanglement. • Decide whether each option is a legitimate safety practice with pneumatic tools, or something unrelated or incomplete. • Ask: On real vessels and in OSHA/USCG guidance, is there usually one single best precaution listed, or do they encourage a group of basic safe practices?

✅ Before You Answer

• For each option, identify the type of accident it helps prevent (e.g., entanglement, hose failure, sudden release of pressure). • Check whether any option is obviously unsafe or not recommended for pneumatic tools; eliminate if so. • Consider whether the question is asking for one key measure or whether multiple listed measures are all standard and commonly taught together.
