A temporary floor-hole cover is installed in a work area. What marking is required?
Correct Answer
A) Marked with 'HOLE' or 'COVER'
OSHA requires covers for holes to be color coded or marked with the word HOLE or COVER to warn of the hazard.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
OSHA requires covers for holes to be color coded or marked with the word HOLE or COVER to warn of the hazard.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option B: Marked only with the subcontractor name
Choice B gives Marked only with the subcontractor name. Its specific error: it leaves the work at an informal or incomplete stage, while Floor hole cover marking requires Marked with 'HOLE' or 'COVER'. The accepted answer is Marked with 'HOLE' or 'COVER'.
Option C: No marking if painted yellow
Choice C (No marking if painted yellow) is rejected because it describes work from another assembly, while the Floor hole cover marking item is asking for Marked with 'HOLE' or 'COVER'. The cited answer is Marked with 'HOLE' or 'COVER'.
Option D: Marked only on the underside
In general project requirements, Marked only on the underside is the wrong selection for Floor hole cover marking: the action skips the timing, documentation, or field-control step needed for Floor hole cover marking.
Memory Technique
Make floor hole cover marking a tabbed card: cite the exact condition, then choose Marked with 'HOLE' or 'COVER'.
Reference Hint
