• Think about what could happen if something falls into an intake area—how might that affect safety or machinery? • Which option(s) directly reduce the chance of foreign objects or debris entering the intake? • Is focusing on only one type of item (like clothing or tools) enough, or do safe work practices usually cover several related risks at once?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices reduce foreign object damage (FOD) risk to the intake. • Consider whether good practice around intakes involves just one precaution or a combination of precautions. • Ask yourself if any listed action would never be a reasonable safety measure in an intake work area.
