Which of the following is a site hazard related to other moving vehicles and equipment on site?

• A. Ground conditions
• B. Code of practice
• C. Vehicles
• D. Legislation

Answer: (C)

Hazards on a worksite include the danger created when other vehicles and equipment are moving around you. The risk isn’t just from the ground surface or from rules—it comes from the presence and movement of other machines. When forklifts, trucks, cranes, or other mobile plant share the same space, the potential for collisions, being struck, or getting crushed is real. Naming the hazard as “vehicles” directly points to this risk and underlines the need for traffic management, clear sightlines, speed control, and staying out of blind spots.

Ground conditions describe how the surface itself could cause slips or overturns, which is a different type of risk. Code of practice and legislation are about the rules and guidance you must follow, not about the hazard itself.
