  1. What should you do first to deal with woodworking hazards?
    Show the answer

    Explain them and plan how to prevent and respond. The requirement asks you to explain likely hazards and how to anticipate, prevent, mitigate, and respond to them.

  2. Why should you wear safety glasses when sawing wood?
    Show the answer

    To help prevent loss of eyesight. Flying chips and dust can injure eyes, so eye protection helps prevent loss of eyesight.

  3. When is a dust mask needed in woodworking?
    Show the answer

    When sanding or creating fine dust. Fine dust from sanding and cutting can be inhaled, so a dust mask protects your lungs.
