When reaching above his or her shoulders to access products on the upper shelves, to avoid causing stress to his or her shoulders and back a worker should
A.
move lightweight products closer to the edge prior to lifting
B.
stand on a chair so that the arms are the same height as the item
C.
allow no more than 10 inches between the pallets when products are stocked on high shelves
D.
move lightweight products further away from the edge
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
Ergonomics and safe material handling are integral to CLT’s “Product Storage” training. When accessing items above shoulder height, workers are instructed to minimize reach and strain by repositioning lighter products closer to the edge before lifting. This practice maintains proper posture, reduces overextension, and prevents musculoskeletal injuries. Standing on chairs is unsafe and violates warehouse safety standards; proper ladders or lifts must be used instead. Shelf spacing (e.g., 10 inches) is not relevant to ergonomic technique. Positioning light items for controlled lifting aligns with CLT principles of efficient, safe storage and retrieval in warehouse environments.
Question #7 (Topic: Demo Questions)
One of the functions during the receiving process is to
A.
determine the inbound shipping carrier
B.
match the packing list to the invoice
C.
determine the amount of material to be purchased
D.
match the packing list quantity to the purchase order
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
The CLT “Receive products” activities require verifying shipments against ordering documents. The packing list (or ASN detail) is checked against the purchase order to confirm that the items, quantities, and units of measure received match what was ordered and authorized. This verification step underpins inventory and financial accuracy and precedes acceptance, staging, and putaway. Matching a packing list to an invoice is an accounting three-way match task, not a receiving floor responsibility. Selecting carriers or determining how much to purchase are procurement/transport decisions made before arrival. By aligning received quantities with the PO, the warehouse ensures correct receipts, initiates discrepancy handling for shortages/overages, and updates inventory records accordingly.
