Suspended components pose a safety risk if they are angled at __ of horizontal and are below __ feet above protective surfacing.

  1. 30 degrees, 6 feet

  2. 45 degrees, 7 feet

  3. 60 degrees, 8 feet

  4. 90 degrees, 9 feet

The correct answer is: 45 degrees, 7 feet

A potential incorrect assumption would be that the more angled the component is, the higher above the protective surfacing it is placed. This is incorrect as the option A and C have a lower height requirement while option B has a higher height requirement. Option D, while having the highest height requirement, would not pose a safety risk as the component is at a perfect 90 degree angle and does not pose a risk of falling. Therefore, B is the correct answer as it balances the angle and height requirements for safety.
