Explanation:

1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is an important and effective way to avoid injury, so the statement about it being the least effective is false.
2. The correct way to use a fire - extinguisher is to first pull the pin to break the tamper seal and then press down on the handle to release the extinguishing agent.
3. When using a knife, cutting away from your body and hands is the safest practice to prevent self - injury. Pulling the knife towards you, striking the blade with a hammer, or using only the pointed end are all dangerous.
4. Students should only use equipment when given instructor approval to ensure safety and proper use. Just knowing how to operate a tool or wanting to use it is not sufficient.
