if you need to review this content, it can be found in the preventing materials handling, storage, use, and disposal hazards module of the materi storage, use, and disposal topic.

Explanation:

When handling heavy scrap metal with sharp edges, steel - toed boots protect the feet from potential crushing or puncture injuries. A respirator is for air - borne hazards (not relevant here). Eye protection is more for flying debris (not the main hazard in this case of heavy object handling).

Answer:

Steel - toed boots
