During a school bus pre-trip inspection, what must you confirm about the emergency exits?
Correct answer: They show no damage, open and close smoothly, latch securely from inside, and any warning devices work.
Answer options
- AThey are locked from the outside so students cannot open them or fall out while the bus is moving
- BThey show no damage, open and close smoothly, latch securely from inside, and any warning devices work Correct
- CTheir warning buzzers and lights are switched off so they will not distract the driver on the road
Why
The pre-trip inspection of a school bus covers the emergency exits: each one should open and shut smoothly, show no damage and latch firmly from inside, and any warning device such as a buzzer or indicator light must work. Disabling an alarm or locking an exit would defeat its purpose in an emergency.
