,Questions 1–10 → Nevada Contractor Law, Safety & Regulatory Compliance
Q1. A Nevada C-7 contractor is awarded a modernization project involving the
replacement of an existing hydraulic elevator controller in a mixed-use commercial
building. Before work begins, the contractor discovers that the building owner never
obtained the required modernization permit. What is the MOST appropriate action for
the contractor?
A. Begin non-electrical work immediately while the permit is being processed
B. Proceed with work if the owner signs a liability waiver
C. Refuse to begin modernization activities until the proper permit is obtained
D. Begin demolition only because modernization permits apply only to installation
work
Correct Answer: 🔴 C. Refuse to begin modernization activities until the proper
permit is obtained
Explanation: 🔹 Nevada contractor regulations and elevator safety compliance
requirements mandate that modernization work involving conveyance systems be
properly permitted before work begins. A licensed C-7 contractor is responsible for
ensuring regulatory compliance and cannot legally proceed based solely on owner
authorization. Option A is incorrect because partial work may still constitute unpermitted
activity. Option B is invalid because liability waivers do not override statutory
requirements. Option D is incorrect because demolition and modernization activities
remain regulated portions of the project.
Q2. During a periodic inspection, an elevator mechanic identifies a damaged hoist
rope with visible strand separation exceeding acceptable tolerances. What should
occur FIRST?
A. Continue operation until replacement parts arrive
B. Reduce elevator speed and continue limited service
C. Remove the elevator from service and secure the equipment
D. Notify occupants to avoid heavy loading only
,Correct Answer: 🔴 C. Remove the elevator from service and secure the equipment
Explanation: 🔹 Hoist rope strand separation presents a critical life-safety hazard.
Industry safety standards require immediate removal from service to prevent
catastrophic failure. Option A exposes occupants to unacceptable risk. Option B
improperly assumes reduced speed mitigates mechanical failure potential. Option D fails
to address the hazard itself. Protecting public safety takes priority over operational
convenience.
Q3. A contractor supervising escalator replacement work notices employees bypassing
lockout/tagout procedures to expedite troubleshooting. What is the contractor’s BEST
response?
A. Permit the activity if only low-voltage systems are exposed
B. Stop work immediately and enforce proper lockout/tagout procedures
C. Allow the practice temporarily under direct supervision
D. Continue work if no passengers are present in the building
Correct Answer: 🔴 B. Stop work immediately and enforce proper lockout/tagout
procedures
Explanation: 🔹 Lockout/tagout violations create severe electromechanical hazards.
OSHA and industry safety standards require de-energization before servicing equipment.
Supervisors are obligated to stop unsafe practices immediately. Option A is unsafe
because low voltage can still create hazardous conditions. Option C violates established
safety procedures. Option D ignores worker safety obligations independent of passenger
presence.
Q4. A Nevada C-7 contractor advertises elevator installation services using a company
name different from the one registered with the licensing board. This practice may
result in:
A. No consequence if the contractor license number appears somewhere in the
advertisement
B. Administrative penalties for improper business representation
, C. Automatic approval if the alternate name is commonly used
D. Exemption if the advertisement is digital only
Correct Answer: 🔴 B. Administrative penalties for improper business representation
Explanation: 🔹 Contractors must operate and advertise under properly registered
business names associated with their license. Misrepresentation may trigger
administrative penalties, fines, or disciplinary action. Option A is incorrect because
license display alone does not cure improper naming violations. Option C lacks legal
validity without formal registration. Option D is incorrect because advertising regulations
apply regardless of media format.
Q5. A conveyance contractor is preparing a job hazard analysis before replacing an
escalator drive assembly. Which factor is MOST critical when evaluating worker risk?
A. Manufacturer branding of the escalator
B. Age of the building owner
C. Stored mechanical and electrical energy sources
D. Decorative finishes surrounding the escalator
Correct Answer: 🔴 C. Stored mechanical and electrical energy sources
Explanation: 🔹 Escalator systems contain multiple hazardous energy sources, including
electrical circuits, rotating assemblies, and tensioned components. Effective hazard
analysis prioritizes identification and control of these dangers. Option A is operationally
irrelevant to hazard assessment. Option B has no safety relationship. Option D may
affect aesthetics but is secondary to life-safety concerns.
Q6. A contractor installs an accessibility lift in a public facility but fails to maintain
required maintenance documentation after turnover. Why is this a serious compliance
issue?
A. Documentation is optional after project completion
B. Maintenance records support regulatory inspections and ongoing safety verification
C. Documentation matters only for residential installations
D. The equipment manufacturer alone is responsible for maintenance records
