Questions 1–8 — Florida Contractor Laws, Licensing & Safety
QUESTION 1.
A glazing contractor is awarded a commercial storefront project. Before beginning
work, the contractor learns that portions of the installation exceed the scope allowed
under the subcontract agreement. What is the most appropriate professional action?
A. Proceed with all work to avoid delaying the project.
B. Perform only the work within the licensed scope and clarify additional work
through proper contractual modification.
C. Delegate unrestricted work to any experienced employee.
D. Ignore the scope since the general contractor assumes responsibility.
Correct Answer: B. Perform only the work within the licensed scope and clarify
additional work through proper contractual modification.
Explanation: A licensed contractor must work only within the authorized
contractual and licensing scope. Contract modifications should be documented
before performing additional work. Option A exposes the contractor to contractual
and licensing violations. Option C ignores licensing requirements, while Option D
incorrectly assumes responsibility transfers entirely to the general contractor.
QUESTION 2.
,During installation of large insulated glass panels, employees are working near an
unprotected building edge. Which OSHA requirement has the highest priority?
A. Install temporary warning signs only.
B. Require workers to wear safety glasses only.
C. Provide approved fall protection appropriate to the exposure.
D. Increase the number of workers handling the panels.
Correct Answer: C. Provide approved fall protection appropriate to the exposure.
Explanation: OSHA requires fall protection whenever employees are exposed to
qualifying fall hazards. While eye protection and additional workers may be
beneficial, they do not eliminate fall hazards. Warning signs alone are insufficient
where fall protection is required.
QUESTION 3.
A contractor discovers that architectural drawings conflict with applicable building
code requirements for safety glazing. What should the contractor do first?
A. Follow the architect's drawings regardless of code.
B. Install less expensive glazing.
C. Notify the responsible design professional and request clarification before
proceeding.
D. Modify the drawings independently.
Correct Answer: C. Notify the responsible design professional and request
clarification before proceeding.
Explanation: Contractors should identify conflicts and seek written clarification
before installation. Installing known noncompliant work creates liability.
Independently changing the design without authorization is also inappropriate.
, QUESTION 4.
Why is maintaining accurate project documentation important throughout a glazing
project?
A. It increases material costs.
B. It provides evidence of compliance, inspections, change orders, and project
decisions.
C. It eliminates the need for inspections.
D. It replaces contractual agreements.
Correct Answer: B. It provides evidence of compliance, inspections, change orders,
and project decisions.
Explanation: Accurate documentation supports quality control, payment requests,
warranty claims, and dispute resolution. It does not replace contracts or inspections
but strengthens project accountability.
QUESTION 5.
Which document generally establishes the legal responsibilities between the glazing
contractor and the client?
A. Daily safety meeting log
B. Material delivery receipt
C. Executed construction contract
D. Equipment maintenance record
Correct Answer: C. Executed construction contract.
Explanation: The construction contract defines obligations, payment terms, scope,
scheduling, and legal responsibilities. Other documents support project
administration but do not establish the contractual relationship.
