Additionally, using a brush instead of hands or other tools can minimize the chances of injury or damage to the machine or the person handling the scraps. Therefore, it is advisable to always use a bench brush when moving scraps from the machine.

    Oil-based finish rags are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust if left in a pile.

    In many industrial settings, different colors are used to designate different areas for safety and organization purposes.

    The statement is false because stains and finishes should not be applied to work tables. Work tables are typically used for tasks that involve cutting, hammering, or other activities that may damage or stain the surface. Applying stains and finishes to work tables would not only be unnecessary but also impractical as these treatments may not withstand the wear and tear of regular use. It is more appropriate to use durable and easy-to-clean materials for work tables instead.
