A crew will install edge metal near an unprotected roof edge. What should the GC coordinate before work begins?
Correct Answer
D) Coordinate required fall-protection controls before exposure
OSHA and jobsite safety planning require controls before exposure to fall hazards.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
OSHA and jobsite safety planning require controls before exposure to fall hazards.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Proceed if the work is expected to take less than one hour
Proceed if the work is expected to take less than one hour may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the fall-protection planning exposure being tested.
Option B: Use the owner's move-in checklist as the fall-protection plan
Use the owner's move-in checklist as the fall-protection plan may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the fall-protection planning exposure being tested.
Option C: Replace fall protection with a photograph of the completed roof edge
Replace fall protection with a photograph of the completed roof edge may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the fall-protection planning exposure being tested.
Memory Technique
Name the harm before the guard; proceed, expected, take cannot stand in for Coordinates Roof-Edge.
Reference Hint
Open-book path: tab OSHA 29 CFR 1926; Contractor's Manual to Subpart M fall protection and jobsite safety planning; confirm the required quantity, authority, timing, or record before selecting the answer.
