Which statement accurately reflects the permit requirement for outriggers?

• A. Outriggers can be installed without any permit
• B. Outriggers require a permit only on some jobs
• C. No permit is ever required
• D. A CD-5 Outrigger permit must be on hand before outriggers can be set up

Answer: (D)

Outriggers are what stabilize heavy equipment, and using them correctly hinges on documented authorization. The CD-5 Outrigger permit is the specific permission that confirms the ground conditions, pad or cribbing requirements, and overall setup meet safety and regulatory standards. Having this permit on hand before deploying outriggers ensures you’re approved to proceed and that any site-specific factors have been reviewed. Options that say no permit is needed, or that permits are required only on some jobs, miss the essential safety rule that a formal authorization is needed for this setup. So, having a CD-5 Outrigger permit on hand before outriggers can be set up is the correct approach.
