You must carry a 6-metre scaffold tube across a busy site. What is the safest method?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Use two people, carrying it level, with a clear route
- Step 1: A long tube swings when turned, so a pair can keep it level and watch both ends. Step 2. A clear route avoids striking people or overhead services. Answer: Use two people, carrying it level, with a clear route. Why not the others: One person alone cannot control the ends, and upright, dragged or head-height carrying invite contact with others.
