Her employer must assess the roof to determine if the walking/working surfaces have the strength and structural integrity to safely support the crew. During the assessment, her employer also determines that fall protection will be required. When can Alicia and the rest of the crew begin working on those surfaces?

1.Before it has been determined that the surface is safe to work on.
2.After it has been determined that the surface is safe to work on.
3. Before a method of fall protection has been selected.
4. After a method of fall protection has been selected.

Answer 1

Alicia and the crew can begin working on the roofing surfaces after it has been determined that they are safe and a method of fall protection has been selected.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alicia and the rest of the crew can begin working on the roofing surfaces after it has been determined that the surface is safe to work on and a method of fall protection has been selected. Alicia's employer must assess the roof first to ensure its strength and structural integrity. If the surface is deemed safe, fall protection measures like safety harness/line or guardrails need to be in place before work can commence.
