Ensure they are properly grounded
Handle without care
Share tools with clients

The correct answer is: Ensure they are properly grounded

Ensuring that electrical tools are properly grounded is a crucial safety measure in barbering. Grounding tools helps prevent electric shock and reduces the risk of fire or electrical hazards. When electrical equipment is grounded, excess electricity is diverted safely into the earth. This is especially important in a barbering environment where tools may be used near water, such as sinks or wet floors, increasing the risk of electric shock if the tools are not grounded. Using tools in wet conditions poses significant safety risks by increasing the chances of electrical shock, while handling tools without care can lead to accidents and injuries. Sharing tools with clients can also introduce hygiene issues and potential transmission of infections, which is a serious concern in any personal care service. Proper grounding significantly mitigates risk and promotes a safer working environment in a barbershop setting.
