Question 6Safety & Environmental - QMED

The correct answer is A) Shore. A shore is a portable beam designed to support a damaged structure. Shoring is a common technique used in maritime emergencies to provide temporary structural support when a vessel or platform has been damaged. Shores are specifically designed for this purpose - they are sturdy, adjustable beams that can be placed to transfer the weight of a damaged section to a more stable part of the structure. The other options are incorrect because: B) Wedge is a small piece of wood or other material used to secure or stabilize something, but is not a standalone shoring component. C) Shole is not a recognized shoring term. D) Strong back refers to a more permanent structural beam, not a portable shoring device.
