Question 206General Subjects - QMED

A) Remove the ragged edges by grinding is the correct answer. The reason this is the correct answer is that a mushroomed chisel head can be dangerous as the ragged edges can break off and potentially cause injury. Grinding down the mushroomed portion to remove the ragged edges is the safest way to address this issue, as it eliminates the risk of the edges breaking off and becoming projectiles. The other options are incorrect because: B) Knocking off the ragged edges with a hammer can still leave behind sharp edges and fragments that can be hazardous. C) Using only light hammer blows with the chisel does not address the underlying issue of the mushroomed head. D) Avoiding striking the mushroomed portion does not fix the problem and leaves the hazardous condition in place.
