A 150-foot trench uses one access point per 25 feet in this study problem. How many access points are needed?

Correct Answer

A) 6 access points.

Using the stated spacing, 150 / 25 = 6 access points.

Answer Options
A
6 access points.
B
5 access points.
C
7 access points.
D
25 access points.

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Using the stated spacing, 150 / 25 = 6 access points.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option B: 5 access points.

5 access points. is below the supported result for excavation access; it likely drops a required step.

Option C: 7 access points.

7 access points. is above the supported result for excavation access; it likely adds a step the rule does not support.

Option D: 25 access points.

25 access points. is above the supported result for excavation access; it likely adds a step the rule does not support.

Memory Technique

Spacing and height are guardrails made of measurements for Laying Out.

Reference Hint

Study anchor (closed-book): memorize Excavation access from Cal/OSHA Title 8; CSLB Law and Business Study Guide / Title 8 excavation access and egress; know the rule or calculation trigger without relying on exam-room lookup.
