The instruction for a wall opening is to LOOK UP, which means to check for hazards overhead.

• A. LOOK UP for overhead hazards
• B. LOOK DOWN for overhead hazards
• C. LOOK UP while ignoring hazards
• D. CHECK LEVEL

Answer: (A)

Looking up before starting a wall opening trains you to scan for overhead hazards. This directive means you should check ceiling-space risks like electrical lines, pipes, conduit, lighting, or any work above that could drop or cause injury. By looking up, you can plan a safe approach, keep coworkers away from potential danger, and determine if protective measures are needed. Looking down would miss the hazards overhead, looking up while ignoring hazards defeats safety, and checking level doesn’t address overhead risks.
