A
Try and catch it
B
Move out of the way
C
Stand still
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Don’t try to catch it. Just move out of the way, let it drop, pick it up and swop it for another knife.

Detailed explanation-2: -If the tool has a retractable blade, retract it immediately after use, and retract it fully. Similarly, close scissors or snips when not in use. Place the tool at the back of the counter when not in use, with the sharp edge away from you.

Detailed explanation-3: -Use protective clothing such as cut resistant or mesh gloves, especially for the holding hand. Safety glasses will protect the eyes if the blade shatters or breaks. Cut away from your body. Make sure no body parts are in the cutting path, or in the path the blade might take if it slips.

Detailed explanation-4: -Keep knives sharp. Wear a cutting glove. Always cut away from yourself. Use the right knife for the job. Cut on a stable cutting board. Never grab a falling knife. Keep your eyes on the blade. Carry the knife pointed down, or in a scabbard. More items •29-Sept-2014
