Question: A telehandler operator is about to begin their shift on a construction site. The pre-shift inspection reveals that the fire extinguisher mounted on the telehandler is missing. According to provincial Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) regulations, what is the operator's immediate course of action?

Answer options: ✅ Record the missing extinguisher in the pre-shift log and report it to the supervisor.

  • Proceed with the work as long as no hot work is planned for the day.
  • Find a replacement fire extinguisher from another piece of equipment.
  • Operate the telehandler only for short periods until a new extinguisher is obtained.

Correct answer: Record the missing extinguisher in the pre-shift log and report it to the supervisor.

Explanation: Provincial OHS regulations mandate that equipment be safe to operate. A missing fire extinguisher is a safety deficiency that must be reported to a supervisor and recorded, and the equipment should not be used until it is rectified. Proceeding with work without addressing the issue or improvising a solution are not acceptable according to OHS standards.
