A deck sheet is about to be laid with one end barely catching the beam flange because the panel was miscut. What should the deck crew do?
Correct Answer
C) Ensure full support by structural members during placement or replace the panel
OSHA 1926.754(e)(5)(ii) requires metal decking panels during initial placement to be placed to ensure full support by structural members. Other choices rely on unstable support or delay securement.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
OSHA 1926.754(e)(5)(ii) requires metal decking panels during initial placement to be placed to ensure full support by structural members. Other choices rely on unstable support or delay securement.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Place the panel and rely on side laps, leaving deck panel support unverified
Choice A (Place the panel and rely on side laps) is rejected because it answers the Deck panel support prompt with the wrong practical move.
Option B: Stand on the unsupported end to hold it down, leaving deck panel support unverified
In metals work, Stand on the unsupported end to hold it down is the wrong selection for Deck panel support: it leaves out the controlling Deck panel support result: E.
Option D: The crew should attach it only after concrete is poured
Choice D gives Attach it only after concrete is poured. Its specific error: the action skips the timing, documentation, or field-control step needed for Deck panel support.
Memory Technique
Pair deck panel support with the real field trigger, then choose the response that produces Ensure full support by structural members during placement or replace the panel.
Reference Hint
Open SDI Manual of Construction with Steel Deck, 2016; 29 CFR 1926 Subpart R; use 29 CFR 1926.754(e)(5)(ii) to confirm that OSHA 1926.754(e)(5)(ii) requires metal decking panels during initial placement to be placed to ensure full support by structural members.
