Explanation:

For Question 8: Welding safety standards emphasize that any damage (cuts/tears) in welding cables is a hazard. Such damaged cables can lead to electrical malfunctions or shocks. Instead of having a distance - based allowance, the proper safety practice is to replace the cable immediately.
For Question 9: In weld shops, loud noises (often above safe decibel levels for prolonged exposure) are prevalent. Hearing protection is not optional as per safety regulations. Prolonged exposure to high - decibel noises in such environments can cause permanent hearing damage. Welders must wear hearing protection to comply with safety standards.

Answer:

Question 8: tears or rips are unacceptable and the cable should be replaced
Question 9: False
