What is the highest distance off the ground the pull cord for a call for help system can be?

• A. twelve inches
• B. eight inches
• C. six inches
• D. four inches

Answer: (C)

The requirement focuses on accessibility from a floor or seated position. The pull cord for a call-for-help system must be reachable by someone who may be lying on the floor or using a wheelchair. Setting the cord no higher than six inches off the floor ensures a person can grab and pull it with minimal effort and no standing. Heights higher than six inches (such as eight or twelve inches) could be out of reach for someone with limited mobility, delaying assistance. A lower height (like four inches) would still be accessible, but six inches represents the maximum distance permitted while maintaining ease of access.
