🔍 Key Concepts

• Standardized crane hand signals used in industry and on vessels • Difference between signals for main hoist, auxiliary/whip hoist, and emergency stop • How a signaler indicates which hoist to use before giving normal motion signals

💭 Think About

• Think about which body part or gesture is commonly used to indicate the main hoist versus the auxiliary hoist • Ask yourself: which choice shows a two-step process—first identifying the hoist, then using normal motion signals? • Which option looks like a continuous motion signal to control how long the hoist should move, and which look like special ‘select the hoist’ signals?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options describe a two-step sequence: (1) select hoist, (2) give normal signal • Check which gesture is typically associated with main hoist selection in standard crane signal charts • Make sure you can distinguish between a signal that picks the type of hoist and a signal that controls direction/speed of movement
