The practical test of basic operating skills is designed to test a candidates efficiency. In addition to the rehearsed time it would not be expected, in normal operating conditions, for the practical element of the basic operating skills test to take more than:

When constructing a test course for the standard BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST, the length of the chicane between the left and right hand turns for COUNTERBALANCE and REACH TRUCKS should be:

When marking the performance of a candidate undergoing the standard BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST, the candidate engages the wrong hydraulic control, how many penalty points must the examiner award for each such fault?

When marking the performance of a candidate undergoing the standard BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST, the candidate fails to dismount from the truck in the correct manner, how many penalty points must the examiner award for each such fault?

The term ‘MEDIUM LEVEL’, when related to the operation of lift trucks during the conduct of the standard BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST, refers to:

When awarding 5 points for 'forks / load too high when travelling' the fork height needs to be:

Having already levelled and raised the forks during the BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST the candidate finds it necessary to adjust the height again to ensure a clean entry. How many penalty points should be awarded?

The bank of questions provided by the Accrediting Bodies Association for Workplace Transport (ABA) for the purposes of conducting the associated knowledge examination:

During the conduct of the practical skills test, faults should be recorded on the practical test marking sheet:

When marking the performance of a candidate undergoing the standard “BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST” the examiner will award penalty points if the candidate is unduly slow and hesitant. Penalty points will be awarded when the “SET TIME” exceeds:

An examiner conducting the test course for the standard BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST for lift truck operators should mark any faults committed by the candidate:

Candidates for the standard ‘BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST’ should be walked through the test course prior to the start of the test to familiarise them with its content. Instructions and directions given to the candidate at this time by the examiner should be

When conducting the BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST it is necessary to ensure the candidate turns with fork arms trailing toward the chicane following stacking/de stacking operations in order:

Upon completion of the standard BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST, a candidate will be deemed to have been unsuccessful (failed) if the total amount of penalty points incurred exceeds:

A candidate should complete the standard BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST in:

The term ‘MEDIUM LEVEL’, when related to the operation of lift trucks during the conduct of the standard BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST, refers to:

The ABA pre-use inspection contains how many MC elements?

When constructing free standing stacks for the BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST, how much space should there be between adjacent stacks?

When marking the performance of a candidate undergoing the standard “BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST” the candidate fails to straighten the wheels before a stacking/destacking operation. When are points awarded for each such fault?

The associated knowledge examination must contain how many mandatory questions?

Following completion of the BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST and before conducting another test, the examiner will:

The BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST should be conducted on a one to one basis:

There is a good reason, when constructing a course for the standard BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST for the lift truck operators, for ensuring that the distance separating the chicane from the first operation within the main aisle is determined with care. The reason for this is so that:

The answers provided by the Accrediting Bodies Association for Workplace Transport (ABA) for the open questions in the associated knowledge examination:

When marking the performance of a candidate undergoing the standard ‘BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST’, the candidate makes a shunt to reposition in the chicane. How many penalty points must be awarded for the ‘Shunt in the chicane’?
