What is the maximum width of the upper access area through the guardrail or barrier to a sliding pole?

  1. 7 inches

  2. 15 inches

  3. 18 inches

  4. 36 inches

The correct answer is: 15 inches

The maximum width of the upper access area addressed in this question refers to the area through which a person can pass to access the sliding pole. Option A, C, and D are incorrect as they are too narrow to allow a person to pass through comfortably. The width of 7 inches (option A) will not allow most adults to pass through, while a 36-inch width (option D) is not necessary and could result in wasted material and unnecessary expense. Option C, with a width of 19 inches, is also not ideal as it only allows for a small margin of clearance on either side of the person, making it difficult to maneuver. Option B, with a width of 15 inches, provides enough space for a person to comfortably pass through the upper access area while also allowing for maneuverability. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
