  1. A homeowner requests changes after contract signing that increase costs. What document best protects the contractor legally and ensures payment?

    Answer: A written change order signed by both parties before work begins

    A signed written change order executed before the additional work begins is the strongest legal protection, establishing agreed-upon scope, cost, and schedule adjustments.

  2. What is the minimum height at which OSHA requires fall protection for employees working on residential construction roofs?

    Answer: 6 feet above a lower level

    OSHA 29 CFR 1926.501(b)(13) requires fall protection for residential construction workers on roofs 6 feet or more above a lower level.

  3. Which type of bond guarantees that a contractor will complete a project according to contract terms?

    Answer: Performance Bond

    A performance bond guarantees the project owner that the contractor will fulfill all contractual obligations, with the surety completing the work or compensating the owner if the contractor defaults.

  4. A worker is exposed to electrical hazards while working near overhead power lines. What is the minimum safe approach distance for lines up to 50kV under OSHA?

    Answer: 10 feet

    OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1408 requires a minimum 10-foot safe approach distance from overhead power lines carrying up to 50kV for unqualified workers.

  5. What is 'subrogation' in the context of contractor insurance, and why do contracts often include a 'waiver of subrogation'?

    Answer: Subrogation allows an insurer to sue a third party after paying a claim; a waiver prevents the insurer from suing the other contracting party

    Subrogation lets an insurer recover from a liable third party after paying a claim; a waiver of subrogation prevents the insurer from pursuing the other party named in the contract.

  6. A residential contractor stores gasoline and other flammable liquids on-site. According to OSHA, these must be stored in approved safety containers with a maximum individual container capacity of:

    Answer: 5 gallons (Type I or II safety cans)

    OSHA 29 CFR 1926.152 requires flammable liquids to be stored in approved safety cans not exceeding 5 gallons when used on construction sites.

  7. What does 'contractual liability' coverage in a general liability policy protect a contractor against?

    Answer: Liability assumed under a contract through indemnification or hold-harmless agreements

    Contractual liability coverage protects the contractor when they have assumed another party's legal liability through indemnification or hold-harmless clauses in a contract.
