The Daytona Beach job has this temporary-power condition: wet work area uses cord-connected equipment. Which safety control should the superintendent verify?

Correct Answer

B) wet-area electrical protection

Construction temporary power must control shock exposure through GFCI or an allowed assured equipment grounding program.

Answer Options
A
elevate the cords only
B
wet-area electrical protection
C
dry it and skip GFCI
D
a wet-area caution sign

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Construction temporary power must control shock exposure through GFCI or an allowed assured equipment grounding program.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: elevate the cords only

elevate the cords only may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the temporary power protection exposure being tested.

Option C: dry it and skip GFCI

dry it and skip GFCI may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the temporary power protection exposure being tested.

Option D: a wet-area caution sign

a wet-area caution sign may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the temporary power protection exposure being tested.

Memory Technique

Name the harm before the guard; elevate, cords, only cannot stand in for Superintendent Checks.

Reference Hint

Open-book path: tab OSHA 29 CFR 1926 to Subpart K, 1926.404 Wiring design and protection; verify the OSHA safety threshold or jobsite control before answering.
