1. A small truck
   Machinery that you use to create a hole
2. A specialty vehicle that has two prongs
   None of the above

A forklift is a specialty vehicle that is used to lift things. To lift those things, the two prongs or forks are placed underneath the items you want to lift, engage the machinery and let it do the rest.

1. Once every three days
   Once a week
2. Daily, before starting your shift
   Once a month

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has requirements that forklift trucks must be checked at least daily before they can be placed into service. If the forklift is used round-the-clock, it must then be examined after each shift.

1. They can touch the ground.
   5 to 10 centimeters
2. 10 to 20 centimeters
   20 or more centimeters

When working in a typical warehouse that has an even surface, place the forks about 5 to 10 centimeters off the ground. This would be a height to make it through a wooden pallet and also stop you from scraping the ground.

1. Stop
   Slow down
2. Honk the horn
   Yell to see if anyone is coming

When approaching an intersection, a driver is advised to slow down, stop and honk the horn. This is also the case at corners and if the driver's view is ever obstructed.

1. Move on to another load, like they never saw this one.
   Pick it up and drive very carefully.
2. Try rearranging the load or stack.
   Mark off the area and let your supervisor or manager know.

When a driver sees this, they should leave the load or stack alone. Then mark off the area with ropes so no one else can attempt anything with it and let their supervisor know about the problem.

1. A few short blasts are less annoying than one long blast.
   You will gain more attention from a few short blasts than one long blast.
2. A long blast might come off as if you are joking.
   There is no difference between the two.

You are blasting the horn because you want to be seen and heard, so you need to draw more attention to yourself. This can be done by doing a series of short blasts instead of one long, continuous horn sound.

1. One
   Two
2. Three
   Four

For safety reasons, only the driver of a forklift truck can be on the vehicle. No passengers are allowed on a forklift truck, per OSHA rules.

1. To protect the driver against any loose items that may fall from above
   It keeps the driver safe in case the truck tips over.
2. It keeps the driver safe in case a full load is dropped on the truck.
   To hold onto when the truck is tipping

In a warehouse, you never know when boxes or loose items may fall from shelves. To protect the driver from shifting materials above, the overhead guard is in place.

1. Concrete
   Snow
2. Asphalt
   Gravel

Snow isn't good for any type of forklift. This is because of the weight per square foot contacting the ground. If you absolutely must drive a forklift in snow, be alert and make sure it is properly warmed up before doing so. And remember to drive slowly!

1. Jump off
   Grab onto the overhead guard.
2. Use your hands to brace yourself on the seat.
   Grip the wheel securely

No matter how much you practice safety measures, the forklift truck may tip sometimes. If this happens, you are going to want to stay in your seat, don't jump, grip the wheel securely and brace yourself using your feet.

1. Diesel powered
   Gasoline powered
2. Air-cooled powered
   Electric powered

There are forklift trucks powered by gasoline and diesel. There are also electric forklifts. However, there are no air-cooled powered trucks out there.

1. Seat belt
   Warning lights
2. Fuel leaks
   All of the above

Your lift trucks’ Operation and Maintenance Manuals (OMM) should tell you what to inspect during your daily inspection. The items would include checking the seat belt, warning lights and any leaking fuel, among other things.

1. It is mandatory to receive annual training.
   Training can be done on-site by OSHA.
2. Any employee who would operate the forklift truck must be trained.
   All of the above

If you are driving the forklift, you have to be trained in driving it. However, that training only needs to be conducted again as a refresher if issues come up with a driver. OSHA provides the rules and regulations, not training.

1. Pass a vision test
   Pass a hearing test
2. Pass both a hearing and vision test
   None of the above

Surprised? Well, OSHA does not require forklift operators to pass a vision or hearing test. However, they issue a letter of interpretation, saying that employers are the ones who determine if full vision is mandatory to drive a forklift.

1. Do not block the doorways.
   Ask someone for help.
2. Check the horn to see that it works properly.
   None of the above

You do not want to block the doorway when refueling. In case of an explosion or another type of emergency, the doorway should remain open so you can get out of the area.

1. Make sure the forks are flat on the floor.
   Make sure you leave the engine running.
2. Make sure to set the directional control to neutral and set the parking brake.
   Make sure you are parked in a safe area away from traffic

When parking the forklift truck, you are going to want to make sure to do all of the points listed, except leave the engine running. Once all of the other elements have been completed, make sure you also turn off the engine.

1. Caliber point
   Punch point
2. Pinch point
   Pressure point

A pinch point is any area where a worker might get a body part caught, like a hand or foot. If a machine moves or has a moving part, it can create a pinch point.

1. Shout and tell people to move out of the way.
   Honk your horn.
2. Do nothing.
   Use the reverse alarm.

OSHA said that forklifts are responsible for the fourth highest number of fatalities when it comes to back-overs. That is why reverse alarms are placed and used on forklifts.

1. The driver
   Seat belt
2. Horn
   Backup alarm

When it comes to the safety of a forklift truck, the driver is the most essential aspect of that safety. They are the ones controlling the speed and turns, and when the backup alarm goes off or the horn is blown.

1. Occupational Safety and Health Act
   Occupational Safety and Hazard Administration
2. Occupational Safety and Hazard Act
   Occupational Safety and Health Administration

OSHA is an agency in the United States Department of Labor. It was established under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, which was signed into law in 1970 by President Richard Nixon.

1. A forklift will never turn over.
   When driven at a reasonable speed, the forklift will almost always flip over.
2. When driven at a high speed, the forklift will turn over easily.
   If you take a corner slowly, then forklift is more likely to flip.

Regardless of how much safety we put into it, a forklift does tip over sometimes. This is especially true when the driver is driving at very fast speeds.

1. Alcohol and/or drug use
   Racing
2. Not paying attention
   None of the above

While the other answers are also dangerous, not paying attention causes the most forklift-related accidents. The driver needs to stay focused at all times, as they can't miss anything going on around them when operating this equipment.

1. Speed up.
   Make a sharp turn.
2. Lean into the turn.
   Slow down.

When turning, you are going to want to slow down the forklift. With a slower speed, you have a better chance of maintaining control and balance when making those turns.

1. Whatever the driver feels like
   At a speed to keep up with the workload and pressures of the job
2. Slow, no matter what the work situations are, to keep safety first
   At a speed consistent with the type of load being carried and the working conditions

The speed would vary for a forklift truck, as it would depend on the load being carried. You also have to factor in the working conditions to determine the speed.

1. Just keep driving along, beeping the horn the entire time.
   Drive in reverse, looking in the direction you are traveling.
2. Raise the load up higher until it's not obstructing your view anymore.
   None of the above

You do not want to raise the load, as there are height restrictions, and you don't want to keep honking the horn and hope everyone moves. By driving in reverse, you are still moving the load and seeing any dangers that may pop up.

1. Not at any time
   Only if the forklift is empty
2. Only if the forklift is going uphill
   Only if the forklift is going downhill

For a forklift truck, the center of gravity is near the center of the forklift. Because of that, you never want to turn while driving up or down a ramp or slope. It could cause your truck to tip over and your load to spill.

1. When driving through intersections
   When there is an emergency
2. When trying to get another person's attention
   None of the above

The driver should use the horn when approaching an intersection. These tend to be busier areas, so you want to make sure your presence is also known to everyone coming to that intersection.

1. Change gears and attempt to stop.
   Lower the forks to the ground.
2. Jump off when you can.
   Try driving it into something to help ease the stop.

If the brakes go out, you may freak out, which is why a plan should be in place. In this circumstance, lowering the forks would help slow down the vehicle.

1. No
   Yes, but only on long loads
2. Yes, but only if the manufacturer authorizes it.
   Yes, but only if spoon extensions are allowed also.

The manufacturer would know more about what is allowed or not allowed. If they allow fork extensions, then you could use them for a longer load.

1. None, so you can communicate with the other driver
   As far apart as possible
2. A safe braking distance
   100 feet apart

When it comes to moving a series of forklift trucks, they should be considered the same as vehicles on the road. You should allow a safe braking distance between you and the vehicle in front of you.

1. Just keep driving, and someone else will clean it up.
   Tell your supervisor so they can handle it.
2. Drive carefully around it to avoid the spot.
   Stop the forklift and clean it up.

Oil on the ground is dangerous for a forklift, so it needs to be addressed immediately. That is why the driver should stop, get out, and clean it right away.

1. Drive slowly
   Use a pallet
2. Drive fast
   People should never be lifted.

Forklifts should not be used for fun and games, especially on the job. People should never be lifted on a forklift, so there is no proper way to do it.

1. Do not block the doorways.
   Keep a flame lit to burn off any unwanted gas.
2. Park in the designated refueling area.
   All of the above

You do not want a flame near the forklift when refueling. When refueling or recharging, open flames, smoke and any possible source of ignition is prohibited within 10 meters of the truck.

1. Load capacity
   Lights and horn
2. Oil and fuel level
   All of the above

For the safety checklist, you are going to want to include oil and fuel levels, as well as the lights and horn because they should be checked at the same time. The load capacity is so the driver knows the maximum load allowed.

1. To make sure the vehicle has been turned off
   This prevents the truck from moving.
2. It keeps anyone not authorized to use the vehicle from using it.
   So the key is always with you

By leaving the forklift truck running or with the key in it, it allows unauthorized people to use it. Forklifts are more dangerous than people think, so all safety precautions need to be followed.
