A site assessment identifies rigid exposed anchor rods as a recognized serious impalement hazard along a walkway. The approved control requires effective protective covers before reopening the walkway. Which action implements that control?
Correct Answer
D) Install protective covers adequate for the assessed impalement exposure before reopening.
OSHA distinguishes reinforcing steel under 1926.701(b) from other recognized impalement hazards addressed by the General Duty Clause. For the stated hazard, install the specified effective guarding before reopening the route. Paint alone or routing workers within the fall exposure does not remove it; a cosmetic cap is not necessarily impalement protection.
