Explanation
This is a work safety related problem solving question which requires judgement on proper actions in a potential safety violation situation. In most industries, safety regulations are strict and there to protect the workers. Using inappropriate PPE (personal protective equipment) risks injury. Therefore, taking time to acquire the appropriate gear, or consulting a supervisor before starting is the most reasonable outcome here.
