Floor Hole is defined as what size range?

Floor Hole is defined as what size range?

• A. 1 - 12 inches
• B. 12 - 24 inches
• C. 0 - 6 inches
• D. 6 - 18 inches

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is how OSHA classifies floor openings by the smallest dimension of the opening. In this item, a floor hole is treated as the opening whose least dimension falls within a smaller range, up to 12 inches. That means holes as small as 1 inch and up to 12 inches in their narrowest width are considered floor holes, requiring the appropriate guarding or covering. Larger openings—those exceeding 12 inches in the smallest dimension—fall into a different category and aren’t counted as floor holes in this context. So the size range described for a floor hole here is 1 to 12 inches.
