A scaffold bay is rated for 2,000 pounds. Workers and materials total 2,350 pounds. What issue exists?

Correct Answer

C) The load exceeds the rating.

The planned load is 350 pounds over the 2,000-pound rating, so the load exceeds the rating.

Answer Options
A
The scaffold bay is acceptable because the rating applies only to materials, not workers.
B
The excess load can remain if a warning tag is posted after the shift.
C
The load exceeds the rating.
D
The load should be averaged with another scaffold bay instead of reducing this bay’s load.

Why This Is the Correct Answer

The planned load is 350 pounds over the 2,000-pound rating, so the load exceeds the rating.
