The Bonita Springs site has this projection hazard: anchor rods are uncapped in the walkway. Which safety control is needed?

Correct Answer

C) cap exposed rods

Employees must be protected from impalement or sharp projection hazards in work and access areas.

Answer Options
A
paint the rod tops bright
B
reroute the walkway around
C
cap exposed rods
D
wrap the rods in tape

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Employees must be protected from impalement or sharp projection hazards in work and access areas.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: paint the rod tops bright

paint the rod tops bright may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the impalement protection exposure being tested.

Option B: reroute the walkway around

reroute the walkway around may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the impalement protection exposure being tested.

Option D: wrap the rods in tape

wrap the rods in tape may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the impalement protection exposure being tested.

Memory Technique

If Superintendent Corrects can still reach the worker, the control is decoration.

Reference Hint

Open-book path: tab OSHA 29 CFR 1926 to Subpart Q, 1926.701 Concrete and masonry construction; verify the OSHA safety threshold or jobsite control before answering.
