8.6 Safe movement of people and vehicles in the workplace

The best control for pedestrian and vehicle risk is:

• 1 Warning signs only
• 2 Faster vehicles
• 3 Training pedestrians only
• 4 Segregation of pedestrians and vehicles

A banksman is a person who:

• 1 Counts money
• 2 Inspects forklift batteries
• 3 Guides a reversing vehicle
• 4 Guards a bank

Which is a measure for a safe vehicle?

• 1 Skipping maintenance
• 2 Overloading
• 3 Reversing aids and good visibility
• 4 Removing mirrors

Which of these is a pedestrian hazard?

• 1 Noise only
• 2 Being struck by a moving vehicle
• 3 Radiation
• 4 Dermatitis

A vehicle hazard is:

• 1 Hearing loss
• 2 Sensitisation
• 3 Overturning
• 4 Dust only

A safe site has traffic routes that:

• 1 Mix pedestrians and vehicles in one lane
• 2 Are poorly lit
• 3 Have no signs
• 4 Separate pedestrians from vehicles with crossing points

Where full segregation is not practicable, a measure could be:

• 1 Increasing speed
• 2 Removing signs
• 3 Ignoring the problem
• 4 Barriers, markings, signs and warnings

Site rules for traffic often include:

• 1 Parking in walkways
• 2 Speed limits
• 3 Reversing without checks
• 4 No limits

A reversing alarm is an example of:

• 1 Health surveillance
• 2 A fixed guard
• 3 A noise control
• 4 A warning of vehicle approach

A safe vehicle has:

• 1 Unrestrained drivers
• 2 Poor mirrors
• 3 No maintenance
• 4 Good visibility and reversing aids

A safe driver is one who is:

• 1 The one with the lowest cost
• 2 Always in a hurry
• 3 Untrained but experienced elsewhere
• 4 Properly selected and trained

A banksman is used to:

• 1 Check noise
• 2 Operate a crane
• 3 Inspect fire doors
• 4 Guide a vehicle that is reversing or manoeuvring

Spillage control on traffic routes helps to prevent:

• 1 Skidding and slipping
• 2 Radiation
• 3 Noise
• 4 Dermatitis

Good lighting on routes helps to:

• 1 Remove the need for signs
• 2 Make hazards and people visible
• 3 Hide vehicles
• 4 Reduce speed limits

Gradients and the surface condition of routes matter because:

• 1 They affect noise only
• 2 They have no effect
• 3 They affect vehicle stability and braking
• 4 They affect dust only
