What should not be worn when working?

• A. Rings, watches, bracelets, necklaces, all jewelry that can snag, pull, or tear
• B. Safety glasses
• C. Loose clothing
• D. Long hair

Answer: (A)

Not wearing jewelry is essential because rings, watches, bracelets, and necklaces can snag on moving parts like gears, belts, or shafts. If jewelry catches, it can pull on skin or fingers and cause serious injuries such as lacerations, crushed fingers, or even more severe harm as machinery continues to operate. This risk is why jewelry is kept away from work areas with equipment. Protective items like safety glasses should be worn for eye protection, and any long hair or loose clothing should be secured or removed to prevent entanglement. The safest practice is to remove all jewelry before starting work to eliminate this risk completely.
