When a CCLP is facing roadways or public access, what is the maximum extension allowed?

The correct answer is that the extension should not exceed the line of overhead protection. This guideline is crucial for ensuring that scaffolding and other structures do not pose a hazard to pedestrians or vehicles passing by. The line of overhead protection is designed to protect individuals from potential falling objects, and maintaining the scaffolding within this boundary minimizes risk to the public.

By restricting the extension to within this safe line, scaffolding can be erected in a way that allows for work to be completed while still adhering to safety protocols. This prevents situations where portions of the scaffolding could inadvertently extend into areas where they could cause injury or damage. Ensuring that the scaffolding remains within the designated limits helps maintain clear safety standards for both workers and the public.
