Preview Questions Scaffold Erector | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: What is the recommended angle for the use of lifting slings when handling scaffold components?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

30 degrees

45 degrees

90 degrees

60 degrees

Question 2: What is the key safety check that should be performed before the first use of any scaffold assembly?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Ensure that the scaffold has been correctly labeled for the job

Ensure that the scaffold is not obstructing any pathways

Confirm the weight capacity rating for the scaffold

Verify that all components are secure and there are no visible defects

Question 3: What is the maximum load a scaffold can safely support based on its base width?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The load is determined by height alone, not base width

The load should never exceed 4 times the base width without additional tie-ins

The load can be increased based on the number of workers present

The load can be unlimited as long as it's distributed equally

Question 4: Which factor is most critical when securing scaffolding to a structure?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Anchor point spacing

Worker weight

Plank material

Scaffold height

Question 5: How do you ensure safe rigging when using lifting equipment on scaffolds?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Use the appropriate rigging points and ensure lifting equipment is rated for the load

Rigging can be done without proper communication among workers

Only visual inspection is needed for rigging before use

Lifting equipment should be used indiscriminately as long as it's functional

Question 6: What is the effect of overloading a scaffold with materials that exceed its design capacity?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It will result in a temporary deflection

It only affects the top platform

It has no impact on structural integrity

It could cause permanent deformation
