Explanation:

First Question:

In a workshop or lab safety context, we report broken or defective tools (since "defective" means not working properly, similar to broken, and is a common term in safety protocols for tools).

For carrying tools (like knives, chisels), the safe way is to carry by the handle with the blade/pointed end down. This is a standard safety practice to prevent injury.

When using cutting tools, you never aim them toward your body (or more specifically, "yourself" but "body" is common here) or others. The key is not directing the dangerous part at oneself or others for safety.

Answer:

defective
