Who must design structural ramps used by employees as access or egress from excavations?
Correct Answer
A) A competent person qualified in structural design.
OSHA requires structural ramps used by employees to be designed by a competent person qualified in structural design.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
OSHA requires structural ramps used by employees to be designed by a competent person qualified in structural design.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option B: Make any laborer on the crew the answer for ramp structural design
Choice B (Any laborer on the crew) is rejected because the option does not produce the required Ramp structural design outcome, A.
Option C: Base the ramp structural design response on the equipment rental clerk only
In site construction, Only the equipment rental clerk is the wrong selection for Ramp structural design: it leaves the work at an informal or incomplete stage, while Ramp structural design requires A.
Option D: Treat the condition as requiring no design is needed
The trap in D is No design is needed. That selection is wrong because it answers the Ramp structural design prompt with the wrong practical move.
Memory Technique
Make ramp structural design a tabbed card: cite the exact condition, then choose A competent person qualified in structural design.
Reference Hint
Open OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart P; EPA Construction General Permit concepts where applicable; use OSHA 1926.651(c)(1) to confirm that OSHA requires structural ramps used by employees to be designed by a competent person qualified in structural design.
