When using sharp objects, it is important to keep them away from edges to prevent accidental cuts or injuries. Additionally, keeping knives clean helps maintain their effectiveness and reduces the risk of contamination. Always replacing knives back to their designated place ensures that they are safely stored and easily accessible when needed. Lastly, never leaving sharp objects lying around reduces the chances of accidents and injuries, especially in households with children or pets.

Explanation
Safe footwear refers to shoes that do not have laces, are not designed for fashion purposes, and do not have high heels. Laces can pose a tripping hazard, while designer shoes may prioritize style over safety. Additionally, heels can cause imbalance and increase the risk of falling or injuring the feet. Therefore, safe footwear should prioritize functionality, comfort, and stability over fashion trends.
