Guardrail/Barrier is not required for school-age if fall height is less than:

  1. 20 inches

  2. 30 inches

  3. 12 inches

  4. 18 inches

The correct answer is: 30 inches

School-age children may not require a guardrail or barrier if the fall height is less than 30 inches. This is because at this height, the risk of injury is significantly lower compared to a fall of 30 inches or higher. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest lower fall heights, which may still pose a potential risk of injury to school-age children and therefore require a guardrail or barrier for safety. This emphasizes the importance of considering both the fall height and age of children when determining the need for a guardrail or barrier.
