AInstall "Yield to Lifter" signage at the zone entry
BRelocate water fountains to the facility entrance
CRoute circulation paths around the lifting zone
DEstablish a main walkway through the rack area
EWiden the existing path between platforms to 5 feet
✓ Correct answer: C. Route circulation paths around the lifting zoneTraffic flow should never pass through high-risk areas like free weight zones. Creating perimeter walkways separates traffic from active lifting. Marking aisles through the zone (Distractor 1) or widening paths (Distractor 2) encourages unsafe traffic. Signage (Distractor 3) is less effective than physical layout changes that eliminate the hazard.
