Question 5

A warehouse employee spends 8 of 40 scheduled weekly hours controlling access. During those hours, the employee is required as a condition of employment to carry a firearm. For security-guard coverage, the employer should classify the employee as:

Accepted Answer

Covered because armed work independently triggers the rule

Outside coverage because security duties do not exceed half of scheduled hours

Answer

Covered only after the employee completes 90 days in the armed assignment

Answer

Exempt because the warehouse title controls the legal classification

Answer

Carbon dioxide because every liquid fire is Class B
