Q

How should you signal the crane operator to stop?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Standard crane hand signals used in maritime and industrial operations • The difference between signals for stop, emergency stop, and travel/hoist • Importance of a clear, easily visible motion that can be recognized instantly by the operator

💭 Think About

• Look at each option and ask: which gesture would be the most immediately understood as ‘stop’ from a distance? • Which movement or position is least likely to be confused with directing the crane to move or hoist? • Which signal looks more like a steady command rather than a motion instruction (like move left/right or raise/lower)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which options show motion versus a fixed, rigid position. • Consider which signal would keep your body stable and visible, not moving around where it might be mistaken for another direction. • Ask yourself which gesture is commonly associated with telling someone to halt or freeze in many work environments.
