The workers were wearing thick clothes and glasses to keep ________
safe.(they)('97辽宁)
为什么是themselves啊 为什么不用them啊!

如果采用两个them会出现重复的情况,英语中会经常避免重复。其次themselves 代表了workers本身,前后主语一致。如使用them可能会造成歧异,主语不明确。
还有就是口语,日常用语的习惯。

themselve means the workers themselves

主语本身就指代他们,在后面指代本身就当用反身代词。
如:
I decided to buy him a present.
He decided to buy himself a present.
