THEORY TEST QUESTIONS (SET
2025) |GUARANTEED ACCURATE
ANSWERS
1. What action should the machine operator undertake when
working with non-hoist rope lifting equipment (e.g. excavator,
forklift etc) immediately before going to attach or disconnect a
load?
A Check the fuel
B Conduct a full safety inspection of the equipment
C Confirm that the machine's controls are isolated
D Signal with lights to other operators that their task is about to
commence
ACCURATE ANSWER: C Confirm that the machine's controls are
isolated
Explanation: When working with non-hoist rope lifting equipment (e.g.
excavator, forklift etc) immediately before going to attach or disconnect
a load, a machine operator must always confirm that the machine's
controls are isolated. This is to that no unplanned movement of any part
of the machine can occur
2. From where is the radius on slewing-type lifting equipment
measured?
A From the centre of the slew ring to the central point of the hook
B From the centre of the slew ring to the furthest point of the hook
, C From the furthest point of the slew ring to the central point of the
hook
D From the furthest point of the slew ring to the furthest point of the
hook
ACCURATE ANSWER: A From the centre of the slew ring to the
central point of the hook
Explanation: From the centre of the slew ring to the central point of the
hook is always the measuring point of the radius on a slewing-type
lifting equipment
3. What action must be taken to ensure safe working conditions are
maintained in relation to wind speeds?
A All operators only need to check wind speeds at the start of every shift
B Experienced operators should check wind speeds at the start of every
shift
C If you sense a change in wind speed, check it
D Wind speeds must be constantly monitored
ACCURATE ANSWER: D Wind speeds must be constantly monitored
Explanation: Wind speeds can be variable throughout the working day
and must be constantly monitored
4. What danger can be present with regard to the machine’s
counterweight when you are working with slewing type-lifting
equipment in a restricted/confined area?
A Absence of enough light to work safely
B Greater risk of stretching the chains of the counterweight
C Overheating of the machinery
D The gap between the counterweight and a structure being reduced or
contacting the object/structure when slewing
