question # 11
multiple choice
why would a construction manager require fall guards to be installed in a high-rise construction project?
to comply with occupational safety and health administration (osha) procedures
to comply with department of health and human services (dhhs) regulations
to comply with environmental protection agency (epa) regulations
to comply with bureau of labor statistics (bls) policies

Explanation:

1. Zoning laws are local regulations that divide land into distinct zones, specifying what types of activities (commercial, residential, etc.) are permitted in each area, which matches the first option. Construction standards are covered by building codes, worker safety by OSHA, and environmental rules by environmental protection agencies, not zoning laws.
2. Fall guards in construction are a workplace safety measure, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets mandatory safety standards for construction sites to protect workers from falls. DHHS focuses on public health, EPA on environmental protection, and BLS on labor statistics, none of which regulate construction fall safety requirements.

Answer:

1. regulating the locations where commercial, industrial, recreational, and residential activities can take place
2. to comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) procedures
