Preview Questions Scaffold Erector | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: How is point load different from distributed load in scaffolding and what impact does it have?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Distributed load creates uneven stress

Point load is easier to manage

Point load creates high stress on supports

Point load is less concentrated

Question 2: Which safety standard governs scaffold load capacity?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

ANSI A10.8

ISO 9001

OSHA 1926.451

EN 12811

Question 3: How should scaffold access points be positioned to ensure worker safety?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

In areas where scaffolding is least used

Near scaffolding edges to ease access

At stable, unobstructed points with proper ladders

At the highest point of the scaffold for efficiency

Question 4: What is the most critical element to inspect when checking scaffold platforms for safety?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Check for rust on the edges only

Check if they are clean

Check for wear on the corners only

Ensure they are securely fastened and not warped

Question 5: What is the correct procedure when operating a scaffold elevator?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The elevator can be used at full speed to maximize time efficiency

The elevator should be used without load limits if it appears functional

Follow the manufacturer's operating guidelines and perform regular checks on the elevator's condition

Manual adjustment should be made instead of relying on automatic functions

Question 6: What should be done if a scaffold's plank deflects beyond acceptable limits during use?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The deflection is typically acceptable as long as no structural damage occurs

The deflection should be ignored unless it affects worker access

The plank should be replaced immediately, and the scaffold should be inspected for overall safety

The scaffold should be reinforced only at the point of deflection
