A Plant City scaffold has this condition: platform was altered after lunch. Which safety control should occur before employees use it?

Correct Answer

D) competent-person scaffold inspection

Scaffolds require competent-person oversight and correction of unsafe changes before use.

Answer Options
A
let the altering crew use it
B
check it from the ground
C
tag and use it till tomorrow
D
competent-person scaffold inspection

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Scaffolds require competent-person oversight and correction of unsafe changes before use.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: let the altering crew use it

let the altering crew use it may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the scaffold inspection control exposure being tested.

Option B: check it from the ground

check it from the ground may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the scaffold inspection control exposure being tested.

Option C: tag and use it till tomorrow

tag and use it till tomorrow may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the scaffold inspection control exposure being tested.

Memory Technique

Name the harm before the guard; let, altering, crew cannot stand in for the controlling choice.

Reference Hint

Open-book path: tab OSHA 29 CFR 1926 to Subpart L, 1926.451 Scaffold general requirements; verify the OSHA safety threshold or jobsite control before answering.
