What is true about knife safety?
A
Never catch a falling knife
B
Carry a knife pointing up
C
Place a knife in a sink filled with water
D
Use a dull knife
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Never catch a falling knife – When an object is dropped, the natural reaction is to grab for it. Trying to catch it just puts you in harm’s way. The knife can always be washed or re-sharpened. Cut away – Cutting motions should always be away from your body.

Detailed explanation-2: -The term is commonly used in phrases like, “don’t try to catch a falling knife, ‘’ which can be translated to mean, “wait for the price to bottom out before buying it.” A falling knife can quickly rebound-in what’s known as a whipsaw-or the security may lose all of its value, as in the case of a bankruptcy.

Detailed explanation-3: -The blade remains engaged and continues to cut, held in place by the friction created by the box. The blade retracts automatically when the knife extends beyond the box, drastically reducing injuries.

Detailed explanation-4: -Train employees in the safe use of knives and safe working practices when sharpening them. Use a knife suitable for the task and for the food you are cutting. Keep knives sharp. Cut on a stable surface. Handle knives carefully when washing up. Carry a knife with the blade pointing downwards. More items •03-Aug-2021
