The Tampa crane pick has this communication condition: multiple spotters are giving conflicting directions. Which safety control should be used?

Correct Answer

D) stop lift and clarify signals

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

Answer Options
A
follow the loudest spotter
B
average the conflicting signals
C
speed up to clear confusion
D
stop lift and clarify signals

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: follow the loudest spotter

follow the loudest spotter may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the crane signal control exposure being tested.

Option B: average the conflicting signals

average the conflicting signals may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the crane signal control exposure being tested.

Option C: speed up to clear confusion

speed up to clear confusion 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 Director Plans: 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.
