Scaffolds practice questions for the CHST exam

A crew is working from a two-point suspension scaffold on a high-rise facade. Gusty wind is making the stage sway, and the competent person has evaluated the situation and decided the stage must be secured. The foreman points out that the building has permanent window cleaners' anchors close to each side of the stage and proposes tying the stage off to them because they are already in place and look strong. What is the correct response under the standard?

1. A.Accept the plan, since the competent person has already determined that securing the stage is necessary
2. B.Accept the plan only if the competent person documents in writing that the anchors are adequate
3. C.Skip tying the stage off, because two-point scaffolds are not required to be secured against swaying
4. D.Reject the use of the window cleaners' anchors for this purpose and secure the stage to another means of tie-off
