A trench is 5 feet deep. What means of egress must be provided for workers?
Giải thích
Section 1541(c)(2) requires a stairway, ladder, ramp or other safe means of egress in trench excavations 4 feet or more deep, so located that no more than 25 feet of LATERAL travel is required to reach it. Each wrong answer bends one of those figures. Option (b) moves the depth trigger to 6 feet, which is a fall-protection number with nothing to do with egress - the trench in this question is already past the 4-foot trigger. Option (a) doubles the lateral distance. Option (d) substitutes a tidy rule of thumb that fails on a long run: with ladders only at the ends of a 200-foot trench, a worker in the middle is 100 feet from either one.
