General Quiz – Concrete Transport

Here's what you'll learn

This is a general quiz on safety related to concrete transport. The quiz aims to cover a wide range of topics from the other quizzes on the site, and the goal is to provide a general understanding of load securing, working at heights, PPE, and other important safety issues.

The industry strives to minimize near misses and accidents, and this requires various measures to create a safe work environment; ensuring that protective equipment meets the requirements of the Swedish Work Environment Authority’s regulations is a challenge. Reducing the number of lifts and work at heights are examples of important measures to improve safety. In an effort to eliminate incidents, Mantum has created this e-training course.

Why must standing elements always be anti-tip secured?
(Select all options that are correct)

1. All standing elements can always tip over

2. Elements that are not individually secured pose a life-threatening risk

3. Most standing elements stand on their own and therefore cannot tip

2 / 19

Since the load can shift during transport and shunting, what should you always do?

1. Since the load can shift during transport and shunting, what should you always do?

2. Check that the load doesn't get dirty during transport

3. Check tyre pressure and tyre tread after loading

3 / 19

What does cross-lashing mean in load securing?

1. The right wall is secured to the left and vice versa, like a cross- or parcel-lashing

2. The chain is laid straight across from right to left, known as overall lashing

3. Standing elements don't need to be secured

4 / 19

Cross-lashing is the optimal load-securing method for standing goods, but it’s not always possible. What securing method is used instead?

1. Sideways anti-tip securing with props and wedges

2. No other measures are needed since the load is in the bracket

3. Only overall lashing works, since the chain runs down the side and anti-tip secures the load that way

5 / 19

Which options are correct when talking about anti-tip securing?
(Select all options that are correct)

1. That the load is secured against the headboard so it cannot move

2. That the work site is closed off

3. That all doors and flaps are closed

4. That the load is secured sideways so it cannot move

6 / 19

How should you secure walls that cannot be cross-lashed?

1. Only overall lashing

2. Use extra chains, lashing straps and anti-tip securing

3. Only use lashing straps

7 / 19

What does it mean to individually secure elements?

1. Individual load securing

2. Individual load securing

3. Individual load securing

8 / 19

What is the most likely reason the load tipped over during unloading?

1. Uneven ground at the unloading site

2. Heavy braking while parking

3. No individual securing of the elements

9 / 19

Why are low walls/beams overrepresented in incident statistics?

1. The load appears easy to secure but is actually complex and requires careful thought and good knowledge of how to do it

2. They are soft and therefore difficult to tension

3. They are fragile and therefore cannot be secured tightly

10 / 19

When walls are much taller than they are long, the tipping risk increases significantly. What needs to be done to eliminate this risk?

1. Nothing, concrete is so heavy it won't tip

2. Overall lashing and clamping the gate is enough

3. Use blocks and chain in the right place, and perform a SELF-CHECK

11 / 19

What measures should you take on snow-covered loading surfaces?
(Select all options that are correct)

1. Use anti-slip agents before loading

2. Be extra thorough with anti-tip securing

3. Use a shovel and broom to clear the loading surface

4. It's enough to tension the load harder on the platform

5. No measures are needed since snow provides the same friction as a dry loading surface

12 / 19

Which points should be checked during the SELF-CHECK when setting down and picking up a platform?
(Select all options that are correct)

1. That the load is flush against the headboard and is not at risk of tipping

2. That the clamps are still tightly secured in the bracket

3. That the clamps are still flush against the load

4. To advertise on the loads

5. That the load is clean after transport

13 / 19

When is it important to use edge protection?

1. Edge protection is never needed

2. Edge protection must always be used when there is a risk of damaging the load or the load securing becoming loose

3. When using lashing straps

14 / 19

How should round stairs be secured?

1. Must be secured with overall securing in the form of a link, strap, and cross-lashing.

2. It must be secured with lashing straps

3. It must be secured with lashing straps

15 / 19

At what height does the limit for working at height apply?

1. 1m

2. 2m

3. 3m

16 / 19

Which person is wearing the correct protective equipment?

1. A

2. B

3. C

17 / 19

Why do we use personal protective equipment?

1. To protect your personal clothing underneath

2. To minimise the risk of incidents and injuries so that we get home unharmed when the work is done

3. To promote the employer

18 / 19

Which load-securing steps has the driver missed?

1. Used overall lashing and posts

2. Used a halter and hazard lights

3. Placed the elements in the bracket, cross-lashed (parcel-lashed), and anti-tip secured at the bottom

19 / 19

What is the single most dangerous and common risk during winter compared to summer?

1. Friction is lower in winter, so elements slide much more easily

2. The elements freeze to the platform and put unnecessary strain on the crane

3. The hydraulics become much stiffer due to low temperatures
