🔍 Key Concepts

• Crane safety information must be visible to the person actually operating the crane • Manufacturer’s load charts / operating tables are used to determine safe loads for a given boom length and radius • Think about where an operator needs to see this information while actually running the crane

💭 Think About

• When is an operator most likely to consult the operating tables—before starting work, or while making each lift? • From which location can the operator quickly and clearly read the load chart without leaving their normal working position? • Which of the listed locations is directly associated with the operator’s normal position during crane operation?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is directly associated with the operator’s working position when using the crane • Ask yourself: from which spot can I read and apply the operating tables without moving away from the controls? • Eliminate any locations that are not typically where the crane operator stands or sits during lifting operations
