Which of the following is NOT a safety control measure to protect pedestrians and mobile plant?

• A. Hazard lights
• B. Signs
• C. Stop/Go person
• D. Personal protective equipment

Answer: (D)

In managing the interaction between pedestrians and moving plant, controls that actively separate people from vehicles or manage traffic are essential. Hazard lights on a forklift improve visibility, helping pedestrians notice the vehicle and react in time. Signs warn of hazards and indicate safe paths or crossing points, guiding both pedestrians and drivers. A Stop/Go person provides real-time direction, slowing or stopping movements to prevent close passes or collisions. Personal protective equipment, while important for individual protection, doesn’t control the movement of people or plant or reduce the risk of a collision by altering traffic flow. It’s a protective measure for the wearer, not a safety control that manages how pedestrians and mobile plant operate around each other. So PPE is not a safety control measure to protect pedestrians and mobile plant.
