Q1. What is the very first principle to consider in the 'hierarchy of control' for preventing falls from height?
A. Use a safety net to catch a falling person.

C. Issue all workers with personal fall arrest harnesses.
D. Use a mobile access tower instead of a ladder.
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B. Avoid work at height altogether if it's reasonably practicable to do so.
The primary and most effective control measure is always to eliminate the hazard by avoiding work at height in the first place.
Q2. The Code of Practice forbids mixing components from different manufacturers. What is the main reason for this rule?
A. It violates the manufacturer's warranty.
B. Components are not designed or tested to fit together, leading to instability and risk of collapse.
C. It makes the tower look unprofessional.
D. Different manufacturers use different colours of aluminium.
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B. Components are not designed or tested to fit together, leading to instability and risk of collapse.
Mixing components is extremely dangerous because their dimensions and locking mechanisms are not compatible, creating a high risk of structural failure.
Q3. When installing diagonal braces during assembly, what is the critical principle to ensure tower stability?
A. Install them on only one side of the tower
B. Ensure they are fitted in alternating (zigzag) directions up the tower
C. Connect them to the middle of the horizontal bars
D. Use at least three diagonal braces per 2-metre lift
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B. Ensure they are fitted in alternating (zigzag) directions up the tower
Fitting diagonal braces in alternating directions on all sides creates triangulation, which prevents the tower from twisting and provides essential rigidity and stability.
