Forklifts, Cranes, Slings and Aerial Lifts practice questions for the CSP exam

A rigging crew finds a synthetic web sling with a torn edge. A supervisor suggests having an experienced crew member stitch the tear with heavy thread so the sling can be used for the rest of the shift. What does the standard require?

1. A.The sling may not be used unless it is repaired by a sling manufacturer or an equivalent entity
2. B.The sling may be used if the stitching is inspected by the competent person on site
3. C.The sling may be used for the rest of the shift if it is replaced with a properly repaired sling afterward
4. D.The sling may be used if its rated capacity is reduced by half

While preparing a new battery-changing area for electric lift trucks, a safety professional reviews the plan. It includes a designated charging room with an eyewash-style flushing station for spilled electrolyte, fire extinguishers, ventilation for gassing batteries, and wheel guards protecting the chargers from truck impact. Batteries would be removed from trucks by two workers who slide them onto a cart and then lift them onto the charging rack by hand. The plan also states that a carboy tilter will be used for electrolyte. Which gap in the plan does the standard require to be corrected?

1. A.The plan must provide a conveyor, overhead hoist, or equivalent material handling equipment for handling batteries instead of hand lifting
2. B.No gap exists, because the plan includes spill flushing, fire protection, ventilation, and charger protection, which are the only items required for a battery charging area
3. C.The carboy tilter must be replaced with a siphon, because a tilter is not permitted for handling electrolyte
4. D.The charging room must be relocated to the truck parking area so that trucks do not need to be moved to a designated location

During an audit of a warehouse's battery charging area, a safety professional observes four electric lift trucks on charge. Which observation is a deficiency under the standard?

1. A.The charging area has a posted rule prohibiting smoking, and no open flames are present
2. B.A truck is being charged with its battery compartment cover latched shut while charging is in progress
3. C.A truck is being charged with its compartment cover open and the vent caps checked as functioning
4. D.A truck is parked at the charger with its brake applied before the charger was connected
