The Tampa crew finds this floor-opening condition: cover shifted after material staging. Which safety action is required before traffic continues?

Correct Answer

D) resecure and inspect cover

Hole covers must be secured and identified so employees are protected from falling through openings.

Answer Options
A
slide it back and continue
B
set weight on top of it
C
barricade one side only
D
resecure and inspect cover

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Hole covers must be secured and identified so employees are protected from falling through openings.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: slide it back and continue

slide it back and continue may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the hole cover control exposure being tested.

Option B: set weight on top of it

set weight on top of it may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the hole cover control exposure being tested.

Option C: barricade one side only

barricade one side only may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the hole cover control exposure being tested.

Memory Technique

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

Reference Hint

Open-book path: tab OSHA 29 CFR 1926 to Subpart M, 1926.502(i) Covers; verify the OSHA safety threshold or jobsite control before answering.
