Crane operations need clear, qualified signaling when the operator's view or communication is limited.

Answer Options
A
any worker waves it in
B
qualified signal person
C
the operator guesses by feel
D
a mirror for the operator

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Crane operations need clear, qualified signaling when the operator's view or communication is limited.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: any worker waves it in

any worker waves it in may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the crane signal control exposure being tested.

Option C: the operator guesses by feel

the operator guesses by feel may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the crane signal control exposure being tested.

Option D: a mirror for the operator

a mirror for the operator may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the crane signal control exposure being tested.

Memory Technique

Crane Signal lock for Lift Director: operations is the harm, need is the guard.

Reference Hint

Open-book path: tab OSHA 29 CFR 1926 to Subpart CC, 1926.1419 Signals and 1926.1428 Signal person qualifications; verify the OSHA safety threshold or jobsite control before answering.
