When form watching below a suspended slab pour what must be carefully check and watch for?

  1. That formply seams running in the direction of the joists are no more than four feet long.

  2. That joists are not cracked below the weight of the stringers.

  3. That the stringers are wedged tight in the U-heads.

  4. That the scaffolding/shoring and all uprights are tight and loaded evenly.

The correct answer is: That the scaffolding/shoring and all uprights are tight and loaded evenly.

When form watching below a suspended slab pour, it is important to carefully check and observe the scaffolding/shoring and all uprights. This is because they need to be tightly secured and loaded evenly in order to provide proper support for the suspended slab. Options A, B, and C are not relevant in this scenario and do not pertain to the responsibility of form watching. Option A deals with the length of formply seams and option B is concerned with the condition of joists, neither of which are related to form watching. Option C addresses the tightness of stringers in U-heads, which is not an essential concern when performing form watching. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
