Explanation:

When using a grinder on a platform, using a flame - retardant blanket to catch falling sparks is important for fire safety. Pressing the metal to the disc prior to starting the grinder is incorrect as it can be dangerous. Pressing forcefully against the metal while grinding is also wrong as it can cause the grinder to malfunction or be unsafe. Wearing rubber footwear while grinding is not the most relevant safety measure compared to catching sparks.

Answer:

use a flame retardant blanket to catch falling sparks
