The deck crew inside a controlled decking zone wants to make final deck attachments while the leading edge is still active. What should the superintendent say?

Correct Answer

D) Final deck attachments and shear connectors are not performed in the CDZ

Section 1926.760(c)(7) excludes final deck fastening and shear-connector installation from a CDZ. Do not confuse initial safety attachments with final work. An unsecured-area allowance does not authorize this task; arrange the appropriate protected work conditions before proceeding.

Answer Options

Proceed because final fastening is safer near the edge
B
Do final attachments only after the concrete subcontractor arrives
C
Proceed if unsecured decking stays under 3,000 sq ft
D
Final deck attachments and shear connectors are not performed in the CDZ
