  1. What is the purpose of a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) in warehouse operations?

    Answer: To identify, assess, and control hazards associated with specific job tasks

    A JHA systematically breaks down a job into steps, identifies hazards at each step, and establishes controls to eliminate or reduce those hazards.

  2. A warehouse uses ammonia-based refrigeration systems. Workers must be trained on which type of emergency response plan?

    Answer: Process Safety Management (PSM) and Emergency Action Plan procedures

    Ammonia is a highly hazardous chemical subject to OSHA's PSM standard (29 CFR 1910.119), requiring specific emergency response plans and worker training.

  3. What is the minimum aisle width required by OSHA for powered industrial truck traffic in warehouse aisles?

    Answer: At least 3 feet wider than the widest vehicle or load

    OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178(e) requires aisles used by powered industrial trucks to be at least 3 feet wider than the largest equipment or load.

  4. What does 'MSDS' stand for in older warehouse safety documentation, and what replaced it?

    Answer: Material Safety Data Sheet, replaced by Safety Data Sheet (SDS) under GHS

    MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) was replaced by SDS (Safety Data Sheet) when OSHA aligned with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) in 2012.

  5. Which condition would make it UNSAFE to use a metal storage rack in a warehouse?

    Answer: A vertical upright shows a visible bend or impact damage

    Bent or impact-damaged uprights compromise the structural integrity of the entire rack system and must be removed from service immediately.

  6. In the context of warehouse safety, what is the HIERARCHY OF CONTROLS, listed from most to least effective?

    Answer: Elimination → Substitution → Engineering controls → Administrative controls → PPE

    The hierarchy runs from elimination (most effective, removes the hazard) through substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, to PPE (least effective alone).

  7. A dock leveler is found to be stuck in the raised position with a trailer still at the dock. What is the correct procedure?

    Answer: Tag the dock out of service and notify maintenance before any truck loading/unloading

    A malfunctioning dock leveler is a serious fall and crush hazard — the dock must be taken out of service and repaired before operations resume.
