The design, materials, ground conditions, and environmental factors
Only the number of workers
Only the weather conditions
3
What should be considered when calculating scaffold loads?
Only the weight of workers
The weight of workers, materials, tools, and equipment
Only the materials
Only the tools
4

7
What should be done if the scaffold load exceeds capacity?
Continue working normally
Stop work immediately and reduce the load or strengthen the scaffold
Work faster to complete quickly
Ignore the overload
8
What should be considered when storing materials on scaffolding?
Only the weight of materials
The weight, distribution, and stability of materials
Only the type of materials
Only the quantity of materials
9
What should be done with heavy materials on scaffolding?
Store them anywhere on the platform
Store them close to the standards and distribute the load evenly
Store them at the edge of the platform
Stack them as high as possible
10
What should be checked regularly regarding scaffold loads?
Only the weather conditions
The actual load compared to the rated capacity
Only the number of workers
Only the materials being used
11
What should be done when adding new loads to scaffolding?
Add them immediately
Check if the additional load will exceed capacity
Ignore capacity limits
Work quickly to minimize exposure
12
What should be considered when multiple workers are on scaffolding?
Only their individual weights
The combined weight and movement of all workers
Only their positions
Only their activities
13
What should be done if scaffolding shows signs of overloading?
Continue working normally
Stop work immediately and evacuate the scaffold
Work faster to complete quickly
Ignore the signs
14
What should be included in scaffold load calculations?
Only the weight of workers
Dead loads, live loads, and environmental loads
Only the materials
Only the tools
15
What should be done when using motorized equipment on scaffolding?
Use it normally
Check if the scaffold is designed for such loads
Ignore capacity limits
Work quickly to minimize exposure
