Question 1: How does a building inspector verify compliance with acoustic insulation during a site inspection?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Checking only the color and thickness of insulation without assessing its soundproofing ability

Verifying that standard insulation is used without considering soundproofing properties

Ensuring that acoustic insulation materials meet soundproofing standards for noise reduction in walls, ceilings, and floors

Ensuring that insulation materials are used only for aesthetic reasons

Question 2: How does "site traffic control" influence safety during building inspections?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Site traffic control is irrelevant unless a vehicle-related incident occurs

Inspectors do not need to check traffic control unless a safety incident happens

Traffic control measures are only necessary after construction is completed

Inspectors verify that proper traffic control measures (e.g., signs, barriers) are in place to protect workers and pedestrians

Question 3: How does the "Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)" standard affect construction site safety?

Which action should you take?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It mandates only visual inspections without addressing worker safety standards

It focuses solely on cost-effective construction practices, ignoring worker safety

It provides regulations for ensuring worker safety during construction, including fall protection and scaffolding safety
