1 penalty point

3 penalty points

5 penalty points

None

When marking the performance of a candidate undergoing the standard ‘BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST’, the examiner will allow adjustments to the position of the lift truck during stacking or de-stacking operations. However, penalty points must be awarded if the candidate makes in excess of:

Three adjustments per operation

Two adjustments per operation

One adjustment per operation

None

Whilst undergoing the standard BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST, a candidate allows the fork arms to rub on withdrawal from a pallet. How many penalty points must the examiner award for each such fault?

5 penalty points must be awarded

1 penalty points must be awarded

3 penalty points must be awarded

None

Upon completion of the test course for the standard BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST for lift truck operators the instructor should be required to:

Visually inspect the course and tidy it where necessary

Move 2 pallet loads

Re-construct the test course

None

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

Are indicative of the types of questions to be used when compiling a question bank

Are a guide to the types of acceptable questions that can be used for the examination

Are the only permissible questions that can be used for the associated knowledge examination

None

10.

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

As soon as they occur

At the end of the test

Whenever convenient

None

11.

The set time allocated for the completion of the BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST should be:

30 minutes

40 minutes

2x the rehearsed time of the examiner conducting the test

None

12.

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

Any stacking height between 299mm and 2999mm

Any stacking height between 301mm and 2999mm

Any stacking height between 300mm and 3000mm

None

13.

Whilst undergoing the standard ‘BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST’, a candidate fails to look in the direction of travel. Is this considered to be a fault? If so, how many penalty points must the examiner award for each such fault?

A fault has been committed and an award of 1 penalty point must be incurred

A fault has been committed and an award of 5 penalty points must be incurred

No fault has been committed, therefore no penalty points will be awarded by the examiner

None

14.

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

less than 100mm above the height recommended for the truck in use

more than 100mm above the height recommended for the truck in use

at least 200mm above the height recommended for the truck in use

None

15.

When setting up the BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST there should be a reasonable distance between the end of the chicane and the first stacking position:

To allow the examiner to mark the candidate’s ability to travel safely

To allow room for the positioning of the truck for the first stacking position

So that the examiner can see what is happening

None

16.

When marking the performance of a candidate undergoing the standard “BASIC OPERATING SKILLS TEST” the candidate fails to apply the handbrake during a stacking/destacking operation. Is this considered to be a fault? If so how many points must the examiner award for each such fault?

5 penalty points

3 penalty points

1 penalty points

None

17.

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 candidate has sufficient distance to position the lift truck for the first stacking position

The examiner has sufficient opportunity to assess the candidate’s ability to steer the lift truck accurately

The candidate has sufficient distance to demonstrate the ability to drive the lift truck (forks trailing) on completion of a stacking exercise

None

18.

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?

1 Penalty Points

3 Penalty Points

5 Penalty Points

None

19.

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

None

20.

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:

To give the candidate practice at reversing

So that the candidate’s ability is assessed in making turns to both the easy and hard sides

So that the examiner can see what the candidate is doing

None

21.

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:

None

22.

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

To prevent others giving assistance

Because it’s more friendly

To ensure overall safety and to prevent distractions for the candidate

None

23.

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

Fifteen (15) minutes

Thirty (30) minutes

Two times (2x) the rehearsed time

None

24.

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:

30 minutes

45 minutes

60 minutes

None

25.

The associated knowledge examination must contain how many mandatory questions?

None
