Here are the answers to your questions: 3. **C. Earplugs are not considered PPE and are unnecessary.** This statement is false. Earplugs are indeed considered personal protective equipment (PPE) and are necessary in environments with high noise levels to protect hearing. 4. **True.** An aluminum ladder should not be used when working around electrical wiring because aluminum is a good conductor of electricity, which poses a risk of electrical shock. 5. **False.** The blockout procedure is not another name for the lockout procedure. The lockout procedure specifically refers to the practice of isolating energy sources to prevent accidental energization during maintenance or repair. 6. **A. Quickly grasp and drag the victim away from the current-carrying material.** You should not do this because it can put you at risk of electrical shock as well. The correct action is to shut off the power first, call for help, or use a non-conductive object to remove the victim if necessary. 7. **C. ignore it.** Ignoring an improper installation is the worst reaction, as it can lead to serious safety hazards. It is important to warn others and notify a supervisor about the danger.
