Brief Explanations

To determine inappropriate lab attire, we analyze the left - hand student's appearance. Long, loose hair is a hazard as it can catch fire or interfere with equipment. Open - toed shoes (like sandals) offer no protection against spills or broken glass. Shorts expose the legs, leaving them vulnerable to chemical splashes or burns.

Brief Explanations

For the right - hand student, we look for attire that follows lab safety rules. Tied - back hair keeps it out of the way and reduces fire risk. Closed - toed shoes protect the feet. A lab apron (or appropriate work dress) shields the body from chemical splashes and other hazards.

Brief Explanations

When working with chemicals, there's a risk of splashes. Glassware can break, sending shards or chemical - laden fragments towards the eyes. Goggles act as a physical barrier, preventing chemicals from entering the eyes (which can cause severe damage) and protecting against flying glass particles that could cause eye injuries.

Answer:

  • Long, loose hair.
  • Open - toed shoes (sandals).
  • Shorts.
