Question: An operator is inspecting a newly acquired personnel work platform for a telehandler. Which of the following markings is legally required to indicate its approval for use on a telehandler in Canada?

Answer options:

• A 'Personnel Lift Approved' sticker from a third-party vendor. ✅ A legible data plate indicating compliance with CSA Z150.2 or equivalent standard, and the manufacturer's serial number.
• A handwritten note from the site supervisor confirming it's safe.
• A tag indicating 'Material Use Only'.

Correct answer: A legible data plate indicating compliance with CSA Z150.2 or equivalent standard, and the manufacturer's serial number.

Explanation: Canadian standards, such as CSA Z150.2-16, require personnel lifting devices to bear a legible data plate from the manufacturer, indicating compliance with the relevant standard and providing identifying information. This is a critical legal and safety requirement. A generic sticker or handwritten note is insufficient, and a 'Material Use Only' tag would indicate it is not approved for personnel.
