During initial metal decking, a panel is placed in the controlled decking zone. What is the minimum OSHA safety-attachment count for that panel?
Correct Answer
A) At least two attachments for each metal decking panel
OSHA 1926.760(c)(6) requires safety deck attachments in the CDZ to have at least two attachments for each metal decking panel. Other choices underattach the panel, use the wrong unit, or delay required safety attachment.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
OSHA 1926.760(c)(6) requires safety deck attachments in the CDZ to have at least two attachments for each metal decking panel. Other choices underattach the panel, use the wrong unit, or delay required safety attachment.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option B: Limit safety deck attachments to one attachment at the leading edge only
In metals work, One attachment at the leading edge only is the wrong selection for Safety deck attachments: the option delays or omits the controlling step.
Option C: Use Four attachments by treating the condition as each 100 sq ft
The trap in C is Four attachments for each 100 sq ft. That selection is wrong because Four attachments for each 100 sq ft is a different published number than the cited Safety deck attachments value; 29 CFR 1926.760(c)(6) supports A.
Option D: Treat the condition as requiring no attachment until final deck fastening
Choice D gives No attachment until final deck fastening. Its specific error: it points to No attachment until final deck fastening, but.
Memory Technique
Use a flashing lip memory cue for safety deck attachments: the stem's condition unlocks At least two attachments for each metal decking panel.
Reference Hint
Open 29 CFR Part 1926, Subpart R - Steel Erection; use 29 CFR 1926.760(c)(6) to confirm that OSHA 1926.760(c)(6) requires safety deck attachments in the CDZ to have at least two attachments for each metal decking panel.
