What does Planned Routine 4 advise regarding entry to the trailer?

• A. Use walk in or out of trailer to load irregulars or straighten packages
• B. Use a forklift exclusively
• C. Climb through the back hatch
• D. Avoid entering the trailer

Answer: (A)

Planned Routine 4 focuses on how to safely enter a trailer during routine loading tasks. It specifies using the walk-in or walk-out method to access the trailer when loading irregulars or straightening packages. This approach keeps you on stable footing, uses proper entry points, and allows you to move safely through standard doors rather than squeezing through awkward openings. It also helps you spot hazards on the trailer floor before handling packages, reducing the chance of slips or injuries. The other options aren’t appropriate: climbing through the back hatch creates unstable positions and higher fall risk; using a forklift as the entry method isn’t for personal access, since forklifts are for moving freight; and avoiding entering the trailer would prevent you from doing the required work safely.
