Question 1: What is the correct spacing of tie-ins when securing a scaffold for load distribution?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Tie-ins are not necessary for load distribution as long as the scaffold is level

Tie-ins should be spaced as far apart as possible to reduce interference

Tie-ins should be placed at regular intervals, typically no more than 30 feet apart, to distribute the load effectively

Tie-ins should be placed only at the top of the scaffold

Question 2: What is the minimum frequency for inspecting scaffolds in use?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Monthly

Every 7 days

After every 6-hour shift

Before each work shift

Question 3: What is the best practice for working at height when erecting a scaffold?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Work without fall protection to save time

Use proper fall protection systems like harnesses and guardrails

Use only temporary ladders for working at height

Rely on scaffolding planks as a primary safety measure

Question 4: What is the primary focus when inspecting suspended scaffolding systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Rope wear

Load balancing

Pulley alignment

Anchor point integrity

Question 5: What is the primary cause of scaffold failure during use, related to structural knowledge?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Incorrect assembly or failure to follow design specifications during erection

Overloading the scaffold with materials beyond its rated capacity

Extreme weather conditions such as wind and rain

Worker error in accessing the scaffold

Question 6: How does the placement of scaffolds near edges or on suspended surfaces affect their structural integrity?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

These scaffolds can carry a greater load without affecting stability

Scaffolds placed near edges or on suspended surfaces are more stable than ground-based scaffolds

Scaffolds in these locations have no additional structural requirements

Scaffolds near edges or on suspended surfaces need additional supporting components to ensure structural safety
