Q1. While unloading a mixed pallet, you notice that a 20 L pail of alkaline radiator flush concentrate has split at the seam and is seeping across the dock floor toward a floor drain. Two co-workers are walking through the area with pallet jacks, and the spill kit and the SDS binder are at the far end of the dock. In what order should you deal with this?
Worked Explanation: People are protected first by isolating the area. The SDS then tells you the hazards and the PPE needed before anyone touches the product; containment and reporting follow. The other options use the same steps in the wrong order: A does 'check the SDS for the hazards and PPE' before 'stop traffic and keep people back', B does 'report it' before 'put on the PPE and contain the spill with the kit, starting at the drain', and D does 'check the SDS for the hazards and PPE' before 'stop traffic and keep people back'.
Q2. A senior customer buys a pair of wiper blades in the rain and struggles to fit them in the parking lot. Your store offers basic installation of wiper blades and bulbs at no charge when time allows, and the counter is quiet. The customer asks if someone could help. What should you do?
Worked Explanation: Basic installation of wiper blades and bulbs is a no-fee value-added service, and the counter is quiet, so the blades are fitted for the customer. Charging, refusing or tying the help to another purchase goes against the store's service.
Q3. Your dealer management system requires serial numbers to be recorded for high-value assemblies such as remanufactured engines, automated transmissions and programmed control modules, from receiving through to the customer's invoice. A new receiver wants to skip the serial numbers on busy days, since the part number already identifies the item. What should you tell them?
Worked Explanation: Serial numbers trace each high-value unit from receiving through stock to the customer, which supports warranty claims, recalls and loss control. A part number identifies the type, not the unit (B), and recording later (C, D) leaves a gap in the trace from receiving.
