Task · part of 1. Safety first: hazards, and ten safe practices

1(b). Name at least ten safe practices

Required

Ten is a specific number and a general answer about being careful will not reach it. Working through the jobs you have chosen and naming the practice each one needs is the reliable way to get there.

Notes and warnings

Note. TEN IS A NUMBER, NOT A FIGURE OF SPEECH. At least ten safe practices, named. A general answer about being careful and reading instructions will not reach ten. The reliable method is to take the jobs you have chosen from the five menus and name the practice each one needs: eye protection for glass and drilling, a dead circuit for anything electrical, a bucket under an open trap, ventilation for solvents, and so on.

Where this step comes from

  1. Home Repairs Merit Badge Requirements (Merit Badge Hub, last modified 2025-12-31), Requirement 1(b) · The requirement asks for at least 10 safe practices to be named.
