Which activity necessitates the use of eye protection and proper electrical grounding?

Using power tools
Working with hammers
Flying
Painting with enamel

The correct answer is: Using power tools

The activity that necessitates the use of eye protection and proper electrical grounding is using power tools. Power tools often generate debris, sparks, and other hazards that can be harmful to the eyes, making eye protection essential to prevent injuries. Furthermore, many power tools operate using electricity, which requires proper grounding to ensure safety from electric shock. Grounding helps redirect any fault current away from the user and reduces the risk of electrocution, especially when tools are used in environments where moisture or conductive materials are present. In contrast, while working with hammers and painting with enamel may have their own safety requirements, they do not specifically require both eye protection and electrical grounding like the use of power tools does. Similarly, flying, although it has its own set of safety considerations, does not relate to the need for eye protection and grounding in the manner that power tool usage does.
