A project in an occupied Florida building requires temporary barriers and controlled access. What should the GC prioritize operationally?
Correct Answer
B) Maintain temporary protections, access control, and separation from occupied areas
Field operations must coordinate temporary facilities and protection for occupied work.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Field operations must coordinate temporary facilities and protection for occupied work.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Remove all barriers to speed work even if occupants remain nearby
Remove all barriers to speed work even if occupants remain nearby addresses a neighboring field issue, but not the condition or method control required for temporary facilities.
Option C: Let each subcontractor create unrelated access routes without coordination, signage, or occupant separation
Let each subcontractor create unrelated access routes without coordination, signage, or occupant separation addresses a neighboring field issue, but not the condition or method control required for temporary facilities.
Option D: Rely on final cleaning as the only occupant-protection measure
Rely on final cleaning as the only occupant-protection measure addresses a neighboring field issue, but not the condition or method control required for temporary facilities.
