Preview Questions Scaffold Erector | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: What is the primary function of cross-bracing in a scaffold?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To prevent the scaffold from moving sideways

To act as a secondary support element

To support the scaffold at high loads

To increase height stability

Question 2: What is the correct procedure for lifting scaffold components using a crane?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Lift only using manual hoists

Ensure components are strapped in a manner that prevents swinging

Use a crane without prior checks for load

Lift components individually, one by one

Question 3: In scaffold design, how does load transfer from the working platform to the base support affect overall stability?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It increases the weight of the scaffold, making it less stable

Proper load transfer ensures that weight is evenly distributed, preventing tipping

It reduces the structural load on the scaffold components

It determines the aesthetic appearance of the scaffold

Question 4: How can you verify the load-bearing capacity of a scaffold base plate?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Measure its thickness

Check the manufacturer's manual

Conduct a load test

Test it under working conditions

Question 5: What is the primary purpose of using a spreader bar in lifting scaffold materials?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Stabilize the load

Reduce sling tension

Increase lifting height

Distribute load evenly

Question 6: What is the impact of wind load on scaffold erection in high-rise construction, and how should it be addressed?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Wind load does not affect scaffold safety at high elevations

Wind load can be ignored if the scaffold is properly braced

Wind load must be calculated and accounted for in the design to ensure stability

Wind load should be considered only when scaffolding is over three stories high
