If outriggers are to be set up, which statement about permits is correct?

• A. CD-5 Outrigger permit must be on hand before outriggers can be set up
• B. Outriggers can be set up without permits
• C. No permit is required
• D. General construction permit suffices

Answer: (A)

Outriggers change how load is spread and how stable the setup will be, so their deployment must be authorized with a specific permit before they’re installed. The CD-5 Outrigger permit is the formal check that the site, conditions, and rigging plan have been reviewed and approved for this equipment. Having this permit on hand ensures you’re protected by the correct safety guidelines and that the setup follows the approved configuration, including base conditions and load limits. General construction permits don’t cover the specialized safety checks for outriggers, and proceeding without any permit isn’t compliant.
