  1. At what height does OSHA require fall protection for general industry warehouse workers on elevated surfaces?

    Answer: 4 feet

    OSHA's general industry standard (29 CFR 1910.28) requires fall protection when workers are exposed to falls of 4 feet or more.

  2. What information must be included on a hazardous material label under OSHA's HazCom 2012 (GHS) standard?

    Answer: Product identifier, signal word, hazard statements, and pictograms

    GHS-aligned HazCom 2012 labels require a product identifier, signal word, hazard and precautionary statements, pictograms, and supplier information.

  3. A worker is required to lift boxes weighing 60 lbs repeatedly throughout a shift. Which is the BEST ergonomic practice?

    Answer: Use mechanical assists such as lift tables or team lifting

    Mechanical assists and team lifting reduce musculoskeletal injury risk; twisting and bending at the waist significantly increase injury risk.

  4. What is the correct action when a forklift's warning horn fails during a pre-shift inspection?

    Answer: Remove the forklift from service until the horn is repaired

    Any safety-critical defect found during pre-shift inspection requires removing the equipment from service until repaired.

  5. Which personal protective equipment (PPE) is typically required when operating in a warehouse cold storage area at -10°F?

    Answer: Insulated gloves, thermal clothing, and face protection rated for extreme cold

    Extreme cold environments require layered thermal protection for the hands, body, and face to prevent frostbite and hypothermia.

  6. What does a 'near miss' event in warehouse safety terminology refer to?

    Answer: An unplanned event that did not result in injury but had the potential to do so

    A near miss is an unplanned event that could have caused injury or damage but did not — reporting them is critical for preventing future incidents.

  7. When stacking pallets in a warehouse rack system, where should the heaviest loads be stored?

    Answer: On the bottom level closest to the floor

    Heavy loads should be stored on the lowest level to lower the center of gravity, reduce rack stress, and improve stability.
