You should never _____________ because it might cause damage.

  1. Operate a machine at peak rated speeds

  2. Use compressed air to clean clothing

  3. Clean with water

  4. Lubricate bearings on a regular basis

The correct answer is: Use compressed air to clean clothing

Using compressed air to clean clothing is considered hazardous and can lead to serious injuries or damage. Compressed air can force particulate matter into the skin, ears, or eyes, causing physical harm. Additionally, clothing could be blown off or could create an unstable posture, leading to falls or other accidents. Proper safety measures recommend using tools specifically designed for cleaning and maintenance tasks to ensure the safety of individuals in the workplace. This emphasizes the importance of using appropriate methods and equipment to avoid potential risks to personal safety and health while maintaining a clean work environment.
