Free O2 questions: Find It in the SROH & HSG47

These questions are in the practice set above. Answer them there to see the correct option and the explanation for each.

  • An operative is about to break out a long, narrow slot in a carriageway, and the supervisor needs to know which class of opening it counts as, because that governs how the reinstatement will be designed. Which provision defines those classes?
  • A gang is about to saw through the bituminous surfacing along a trench line, and is worried about tearing the bond between the top two layers as they cut. Which provision governs the care taken at this stage?
  • Halfway down a trench the sides have gone ragged, and the machine has cut back underneath the edge of the running surface. The ganger wants the provision that says how the excavation should have been dug.
