Question: During truck spotting, what is the recommended procedure if the loader operator loses sight of the dump truck's driver or any ground personnel assisting with spotting?
Answer options:
- Continue loading slowly and carefully until they reappear.
- Honk the horn loudly to alert them of the loader's presence. ✅ Immediately stop all movement and engage the parking brake.
- Assume they have moved to a safe area and proceed with caution.
Correct answer: Immediately stop all movement and engage the parking brake.
Explanation: If an operator loses sight of personnel, especially during critical operations like truck spotting, the immediate action must be to stop all machine movement and engage the parking brake. This is a fundamental safety principle for mobile equipment operation to prevent 'struck-by' incidents, as mandated by provincial OHS regulations (e.g., Ontario OHSA Section 97(2)).
