    Walking in a main aisle in the warehouse does not necessarily mean that you can relax. It is important to always be alert and cautious while walking in any area of a warehouse, including main aisles.

    Stepping on a pallet to get around an obstacle is safe.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    Stepping on a pallet to get around an obstacle is not safe. Pallets are not designed to support the weight of a person and can easily break or become unstable, leading to falls and injuries. It is important to find a safer alternative to navigate around obstacles to avoid accidents and maintain personal safety.

    Walking into an empty aisle poses no danger.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    Walking into an empty aisle does not necessarily mean that there is no danger. There could be hidden hazards or obstacles that are not immediately visible. Additionally, the absence of people in the aisle does not guarantee safety as there could still be potential risks such as slippery floors or falling objects. Therefore, it is incorrect to assume that an empty aisle poses no danger.

    The driver of a Powered Industrial Truck (PIT, we have 2 – the hi-lo and the order picker) always has a clear view of the area around him.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the driver of a Powered Industrial Truck (PIT) does not always have a clear view of the area around him. Depending on the design and configuration of the PIT, there may be blind spots or obstructed views that limit the driver's visibility. It is important for the driver to be aware of these limitations and take necessary precautions to ensure safety.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    When approaching a PIT with a driver, whether moving or stationary, do not walk up to or try to pass the vehicle without the driver being aware you are there.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    It is important to not walk up to or try to pass a vehicle without the driver being aware of your presence when approaching a PIT (Pursuit Intervention Technique) with a driver, whether the vehicle is moving or stationary. This is crucial for safety reasons as the driver may not be able to see or anticipate your movements, which could lead to accidents or injuries. Therefore, it is advisable to wait until the driver is aware of your presence before approaching or passing the vehicle.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    It is acceptable practice to walk under the raised forks or platform of a PIT if the forks or platform are empty.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    Walking under the raised forks or platform of a PIT, even if they are empty, is not an acceptable practice. It is important to prioritize safety and avoid potential hazards. Walking under raised forks or platforms can be dangerous as there is a risk of the forks or platform falling unexpectedly, causing serious injury or even death. Therefore, it is not acceptable to walk under the raised forks or platform of a PIT, regardless of whether they are empty or not.

  • 7. 

    A hi-lo lifting or lowering a load can be considered safe to approach if the driver knows you are there.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that a hi-lo lifting or lowering a load is safe to approach if the driver knows you are there. However, this is not true. It is important to remember that hi-lo machines have limited visibility and blind spots, which means that the driver may not always be aware of your presence. Therefore, it is crucial to exercise caution and not assume that the driver knows you are there.

  • 8. 

    When exiting from one aisle to another, it is safe if you cannot hear a vehicle close by.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    When exiting from one aisle to another, it is not safe if you cannot hear a vehicle close by. This is because hearing the sound of a vehicle can help alert you to its presence and prevent a potential collision. By not being able to hear a vehicle close by, there is a higher risk of not being aware of its approach and potentially stepping into its path. Therefore, it is important to be able to hear vehicles when exiting from one aisle to another for safety reasons.

  • 9. 

    Any load being transferred and carried low to the ground can still cause a safety issue.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Any load, regardless of its height from the ground, can still pose a safety risk. Even if a load is being transferred and carried close to the ground, it can still cause accidents, such as tripping hazards or obstruction of pathways. Therefore, it is important to always prioritize safety measures when handling any type of load, regardless of its height from the ground.

    Hi-los steer with the rear wheels and can turn tighter than a car which can cause unexpected movements to those around them.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Hi-los, also known as high-low forklifts, have the ability to steer with their rear wheels. This means that they can make tighter turns compared to regular cars. The tight turning radius of hi-los can sometimes catch people off guard, leading to unexpected movements around them. Therefore, the statement that hi-los can turn tighter than a car and cause unexpected movements to those around them is true.
