We must never use an electric razor around:

• A. Water
• B. Pacemaker
• C. Oxygen
• D. Electrical outlet

Answer: (C)

Using an electric razor around oxygen creates a serious fire hazard because oxygen supports combustion. In environments where supplemental oxygen is in use, a spark or heat from the razor can ignite oxygen-rich air or materials nearby, leading to a dangerous fire or explosion. That’s why the instruction is to avoid using an electric razor in the presence of oxygen. While water around electricity can cause shock and some devices may interfere with implanted devices or be connected to outlets, the immediate and universal safety concern in this scenario is the ignition risk posed by oxygen.
