Which operation does not require eye protection?

  1. Grinding metal

  2. Welding

  3. Typing

  4. Using power tools

The correct answer is: Typing

Eye protection is essential in various operations to prevent potential injuries from flying debris, intense light, and other hazards. In the context of this question, typing is an operation that does not expose the worker to any of those hazards, making it the correct choice. Grinding metal and welding both produce sparks, metal shards, and intense light, which can harm the eyes. Using power tools can similarly create flying particles or debris, increasing the risk of eye injuries. Therefore, typing is a safe activity that typically does not require eye protection, as it involves minimal risk to the eyes and does not produce harmful environmental factors.
