Q1. A sheet metal worker in Calgary is hanging supply duct 3.5 m above a concrete floor along an open mezzanine edge. There are no guardrails, an aerial lift cannot reach the area, and a travel restraint line would stop the worker short of the edge where the duct must be joined. Which fall protection method does the worker need?
Worked Explanation: Fall protection is required at about 3 m in most provinces. Guardrails come first, then travel restraint; where the worker must reach the open edge and restraint cannot be used, a personal fall arrest system with a full-body harness, energy-absorbing lanyard and suitable anchor is required. A monitor and warning lines do not protect a worker at this height. A safety net needs its own engineered design and supports, which is far more than this duct joint calls for, and it does not fit a worker reaching the edge from this mezzanine.
Q2. An apprentice in a Hamilton shop has cut out the pattern for a light-gauge square-to-round and wants to start bending it. The last one came out with kinks where the corners meet the round, because the bends were made in the wrong places. In what order should the fitting be formed?
Worked Explanation: The seam edges are formed while the pattern is still flat. The corner sections are then curved by light bends along the element lines that fan out from each corner, while the flat triangles stay flat, and the seam is closed and the round end trued last. The other options use the same steps in the wrong order: B does 'close the seam, true the round' before 'bend lightly along corner lines', C does 'close the seam, true the round' before 'form the seam edges while flat', and D does 'close the seam, true the round' before 'bend lightly along corner lines'.
Q3. A crew in a Brandon clinic is installing a return grille on a duct with a smoke detector just behind it, in the ceiling space. The controls technician must be able to reach and test the detector, and the crew has hung the grille tight against the duct. The ceiling is drywall. How should access be provided?
Worked Explanation: Access is provided so that the device can be seen and reached, here with a hinged grille or a door, and it is checked from below. Cutting drywall for each test is damage, not access. A test from the roof does not reach the detector, and reaching in by feel is not a proper test.
