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

Answer Options
A
post-event scaffold inspection
B
use it, it survived the storm
C
reset the planks and continue
D
inspect todays level only

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 B: use it, it survived the storm

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

Option C: reset the planks and continue

reset the planks and continue may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the scaffold inspection control exposure being tested.

Option D: inspect todays level only

inspect todays level only may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the scaffold inspection control exposure being tested.

Memory Technique

If Competent Person can still reach the worker, the control is decoration.

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.
