Safety discussions on a jobsite should include local weather conditions because these conditions can affect decisions concerning __. I. suitable clothing II. planned tasks or operations.

• A. II only
• B. I only
• C. both I or II
• D. neither I nor II

Answer: (C)

Weather on a jobsite directly shapes two practical safety decisions: what you wear and what work you plan to do. If it’s hot, humid, or sunny, you’ll choose breathable clothing, sun protection, and hydration strategies; if it’s cold, windy, or wet, you’ll layer up and pick insulated, weatherproof gear. At the same time, weather dictates which tasks are feasible or safe to perform—rain can make surfaces slick, wind can affect material handling, lightning or extreme heat may require postponing or changing operations. Because weather influences both clothing choices and the scheduling or nature of tasks, safety discussions should address both factors. So the best answer is that weather conditions can affect decisions concerning both clothing and planned tasks or operations.
