Under what influence should equipment in the shop never be used?

Fatigue
Negative feelings
Drugs or alcohol
Distractions

The correct answer is: Drugs or alcohol

Equipment in the shop should never be used under the influence of drugs or alcohol because these substances can impair judgment, coordination, and reaction times. This impairment significantly increases the risk of accidents and injuries not only to the individual using the equipment but also to those around them. When someone is under the influence, they may not be able to accurately assess risk, follow proper safety protocols, or respond effectively to unexpected situations that could arise while operating machinery or tools. This rule is a crucial aspect of maintaining a safe working environment in any workshop or industrial setting. While fatigue, negative feelings, and distractions can also impair performance and increase the risk of accidents, the immediate and profound effects of drugs or alcohol make this option particularly critical in ensuring the safety and well-being of everyone in the shop.
