Where must hand signal charts be posted?

• A. In a conspicuous area near crane operations.
• B. Inside the crane operator's cab.
• C. In the break room.
• D. In the glove compartment of the site vehicle.

Answer: (A)

Hand signal charts are there to standardize communication between the crane operator and others involved in the lift. They must be posted in a conspicuous area near crane operations so everyone can reference them quickly during the lift. This visibility helps prevent miscommunication that could cause a mishap. Placing the charts inside the operator's cab hides them from ground personnel and does not allow quick access during setup and signaling. Charts in the break room or in a glove compartment are not in the active work area and would not be seen when signals are being exchanged.
