According to OSHA, what is the leading cause of forklift-related fatalities in the workplace?
Answer: Workers struck by or crushed by forklifts
OSHA reports that workers being struck by or crushed under forklifts is the leading cause of forklift-related workplace fatalities.
What is the correct response when a forklift operator cannot see over or around a large load while traveling?
Answer: Travel in reverse so the operator has a clear view of the direction of travel
When a load blocks forward visibility, the operator must travel in reverse so they can directly observe their direction of travel and avoid pedestrians.
High-visibility safety vests for pedestrians working near forklifts are required by which standard?
Answer: ANSI/ISEA 107 for high-visibility apparel, referenced in OSHA PPE standards
ANSI/ISEA 107 establishes high-visibility apparel standards, and OSHA's PPE regulations (1910.132) require employers to assess and provide appropriate PPE including hi-vis vests in forklift zones.
What should a forklift operator do when a pedestrian unexpectedly steps into the travel lane?
Answer: Immediately apply the brakes and stop, even if it means stalling the load
The operator must stop immediately when a pedestrian enters the travel lane — pedestrian safety always takes precedence over load handling or schedule.
Which of the following is an effective engineering control to warn pedestrians of an approaching forklift in a facility?
Answer: Installing blue LED safety lights on the forklift that project a spot on the floor ahead of it
Blue LED spot lights project a visible circle on the floor in front of or behind the forklift, alerting pedestrians to its approach before it rounds a corner.
How often must forklift operators receive refresher training on pedestrian safety according to OSHA?
Answer: When an operator is observed operating the equipment unsafely, after a near-miss, or at least every 3 years
OSHA 1910.178(l) requires refresher training when unsafe operation is observed, after an incident or near-miss, and an evaluation at least every 3 years.
