Solution

The statement "long hair must be tied up" is not a valid safety concern when working with alpha, beta and gamma sources and investigating their penetrative power. This is more relevant to safety in a laboratory setting where there might be a risk of hair getting caught in equipment, but it doesn't specifically relate to the safety concerns of handling radioactive sources. The other three options are valid safety concerns as they help to minimize potential exposure to radiation.
