  1. What is the correct action when a forklift tip-over is imminent and the operator is wearing a seatbelt?

    Answer: Stay in the seat, grip the steering wheel, and brace feet against the floor

    Operators should stay in the forklift, hold the wheel, and brace themselves — jumping out increases the risk of being crushed by the overhead guard during a tip-over.

  2. Under OSHA regulations, what is the required minimum width of a main warehouse aisle used by forklifts?

    Answer: At least 3 feet wider than the widest load

    OSHA 1910.22 requires aisles to be at least 3 feet wider than the largest equipment or load that will travel through them to ensure safe clearance.

  3. Which type of hazard is classified as a 'struck-by' hazard in the warehouse environment?

    Answer: Worker being hit by a falling object from racking

    A 'struck-by' hazard occurs when a worker is hit by a moving object, such as items falling from improperly secured racking.

  4. What does OSHA require employers to do within 8 hours of a workplace fatality?

    Answer: Verbally report the fatality to the nearest OSHA office

    OSHA requires employers to verbally report any work-related fatality to OSHA within 8 hours of learning about it, either by phone or online.

  5. Which warehouse activity is most likely to cause a 'caught-in/between' injury?

    Answer: Reaching between a conveyor belt and a fixed guardrail

    Caught-in/between hazards occur when body parts are trapped between a moving part (like a conveyor) and a stationary object, making unguarded machinery a primary risk.

  6. When must safety inspections of warehouse racking systems be performed?

    Answer: Regularly on a scheduled basis and after any impact or damage event

    RMI (Rack Manufacturers Institute) standards and OSHA guidelines recommend routine scheduled inspections plus immediate inspection after any collision or visible damage.

  7. What is the purpose of a 'near-miss' reporting program in a warehouse?

    Answer: Identify and correct hazardous conditions before an injury occurs

    Near-miss reporting allows organizations to identify root causes and correct hazards proactively, using incidents where no injury occurred as learning opportunities.
