  1. An operator notices the forklift pulls to one side during travel. What should they do?

    Answer: Report the issue to a supervisor and remove the truck from service

    Abnormal steering behavior indicates a mechanical problem that must be reported and the truck taken out of service immediately for inspection.

  2. What is the minimum safe following distance from another forklift while traveling?

    Answer: Three truck lengths

    OSHA recommends maintaining a following distance of approximately three truck lengths to allow enough stopping distance at typical travel speeds.

  3. LP gas cylinders on a forklift should be stored when not in use:

    Answer: In a designated outdoor area or ventilated storage with the valve closed

    LP cylinders must be stored in well-ventilated areas away from ignition sources, with valves closed, to prevent dangerous gas accumulation.

  4. When placing a load on a high shelf, an operator should:

    Answer: Stop the forklift, then raise the load to the target height

    Raising a load while moving dramatically increases instability; the forklift must be stopped before elevating loads to high positions.

  5. What is the correct procedure for refueling an LP-powered forklift?

    Answer: Turn off the engine, change the cylinder in a ventilated area away from open flames

    LP cylinder changes must be performed with the engine off in well-ventilated areas free of ignition sources to prevent fire or explosion.

  6. Which of the following is a hazard unique to electric forklifts compared to LP/diesel models?

    Answer: Battery acid spills and hydrogen gas release during charging

    Lead-acid batteries can release hydrogen gas during charging and contain sulfuric acid, creating both explosion and chemical burn hazards.

  7. A dock plate or dock board used to bridge a forklift from the dock to a trailer should be:

    Answer: Rated for the combined weight of the forklift and its maximum load

    Dock plates must be rated for the gross weight of the loaded forklift to prevent collapse during loading or unloading operations.
