1. Before operating a forklift, the first action an operator should take is:
A. Start the engine immediately
B. Conduct a pre-operational inspection of the forklift
C. Move a small load to test controls
D. Drive without checking the area
Pre-operational inspections ensure the forklift is safe to operate and comply with
safety regulations.
2. Which of the following is a common hazard in forklift operation?
A. High noise levels only
B. Only heavy traffic areas
C. Tip-overs, collisions, and falling loads
D. Weather conditions only
Forklift hazards include mechanical, environmental, and human factors that
can cause accidents.
3. The maximum safe load capacity is:
A. The operator’s judgment
B. Any load that fits on the forks
C. The load rating specified on the forklift data plate
D. Half the weight of the forklift
Exceeding the rated capacity increases the risk of tip-overs and accidents.

4. When traveling with a load, the forks should be:
A. Raised at head height
B. Low to the ground with the load tilted back slightly
C. Tilted forward
D. Fully raised regardless of load
Keeping the load low and tilted back improves stability and visibility.
5. What is the primary cause of forklift tip-overs?
A. Low load weight
B. Excessive speed or turning with a raised load
C. Flat surfaces
D. Well-balanced loads
Tip-overs occur when center of gravity shifts beyond safe limits.
6. If a load blocks your forward view, the operator should:
A. Drive quickly to complete the task
B. Drive in reverse or use a spotter
C. Turn without checking
D. Push the load with another forklift
Maintaining visibility prevents collisions and ensures safe operation.
7. What is the safe method for stacking pallets?
A. Stack haphazardly as long as height is acceptable
B. Ensure pallets are evenly stacked and not exceeding maximum height
C. Only place pallets on uneven surfaces
D. Stack on the edge of the platform
Even, secure stacking prevents falling loads and accidents.

8. When operating on an incline, the correct procedure is:
A. Travel sideways
B. Drive forward with the load uphill or reverse with load downhill
C. Always drive forward
D. Raise forks while on incline
Driving properly maintains stability and prevents tip-overs.
9. A pedestrian is in the forklift path. The operator should:
A. Honk continuously and proceed
B. Stop and wait until the path is clear
C. Move slowly without stopping
D. Attempt to maneuver around
Operator must prioritize pedestrian safety at all times.
10. If a forklift’s horn or warning device is not working, the operator should:
A. Continue operation carefully
B. Report the defect and do not operate until repaired
C. Replace with another sound device
D. Operate at reduced speed
Operating defective equipment is unsafe and violates regulations.
11. Forklift tires should be checked for:
A. Only flatness
B. Damage, wear, and proper inflation
C. Color only
D. Tire age only
Tire condition affects stability, handling, and safety.

12. The correct way to pick up a pallet is:
A. Push the forks under unevenly
B. Center forks, insert fully, and lift smoothly
C. Lift from the side
D. Lift only halfway
Proper technique prevents load damage and forklift instability.
13. How often should pre-shift inspections be conducted?
A. Weekly
B. Only after accidents
C. At the beginning of every shift
D. Monthly
Regular inspections ensure safe operation and early detection of faults.
14. What is the maximum safe speed for a forklift in a warehouse?
A. 50 km/h
B. 30 km/h
C. As indicated by site-specific regulations and conditions
D. No limit
Speed must be controlled according to environment and load conditions.
15. When refueling a forklift, the operator must:
A. Keep engine running
B. Refuel anywhere
C. Shut down engine and follow proper fuel safety procedures
D. Refuel quickly without precautions
Proper refueling prevents fire hazards.
