Q1A banksman is directing a crane lift but loses sight of the load due to an obstruction. The site manager instructs the banksman via radio to "keep lowering" to save time. How must the banksman respond?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Halt the lift immediately
Operations must stop immediately if visual contact is lost. Safety overrides schedule pressure or remote instructions until safe vision is restored.
Q2An operator notices a deep crack in the casing of a 110V drill during a pre-use check. The drill has a PAT test sticker valid for another six months. What is the correct course of action?
Show answer

A valid PAT sticker does not negate visible defects. Any equipment with physical damage affecting safety must be removed from service immediately.
Q3A worker needs to install a security camera at a height of 5 meters on soft, uneven ground. Under PUWER, which piece of equipment is most suitable for this task?
Show answer

Q5What is the primary hazard associated with driving a forward-tipping dumper across a steep gradient (slope)?
