When refuelling an LPG forklift, which safety step is most important?
Answer: Switch off the engine and move the forklift to a designated refuelling area away from ignition sources
The engine must be switched off and the forklift moved to a designated, well-ventilated refuelling area away from ignition sources before changing the LPG cylinder.
What is the correct procedure for charging an electric forklift battery?
Answer: Move the forklift to a designated charging area with adequate ventilation, connect charger, and record in logbook
Electric forklift batteries must be charged in a designated, ventilated charging area because charging produces hydrogen gas, which is explosive. The process must be logged.
A forklift approaches an intersection inside a warehouse with limited visibility. What should the operator do?
Answer: Slow down, sound the horn, and be prepared to stop for pedestrians or other vehicles
At blind intersections, operators must slow down, sound the horn as a warning, and be prepared to stop for any hazard — pedestrians or other vehicles.
What information must a forklift operator check on the load before picking it up?
Answer: The weight, dimensions, load centre, and stability/condition of the load
Before picking up a load, operators must assess its weight, dimensions, load centre position, and whether it is stable and in good condition — all factors that affect safe handling.
Under SafeWork Australia guidelines, what is the minimum requirement for a safe exclusion zone around a forklift operating area?
Answer: Physical barriers or clearly marked exclusion zones that separate pedestrians from forklift travel paths
SafeWork Australia's hierarchy of controls requires physical separation (barriers, bollards, exclusion zones) between pedestrian and forklift areas as the preferred control measure.
When travelling on a ramp or incline with a loaded forklift, what is the correct direction of travel?
Answer: Drive with the load facing uphill in both directions — forwards up, reverse down
The load must always face uphill — drive forwards going up the ramp and reverse down the ramp. This prevents the load from sliding forward and the forklift from tipping forward.
What does 'hazard identification' involve as part of a forklift operator's WHS duties?
Answer: Actively looking for conditions or practices that could cause harm before and during operations
Hazard identification is an active, ongoing duty for forklift operators. They must look for potential harm sources before starting and throughout their shift and report findings promptly.
