Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Lift the load quickly and move it over the area without consideration

Ensure no personnel are under the load, use proper rigging, and communicate with all workers on-site for safe clearance

Lift the load without confirming the positions of personnel

Question 2: How should a Crane Operator handle the crane during a swinging load?

Which action should you take?

Question 3: How can a crane operator reduce wear and tear on crane components during regular operation?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By following the manufacturer's recommended load limits

By lifting loads at higher speeds

By only using the crane for short, small lifts

By constantly operating at full capacity

Question 4: What is the importance of inspecting the crane's hydraulic filters and hoses during maintenance?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To ensure that hydraulic fluid is circulating properly and that there are no leaks or clogs that could cause a system failure

Choose only one option

Increase the lifting speed to minimize exposure time

Always operate the crane with its boom directly at the lines

Maintain a minimum distance as per safety regulations

Ensure the crane is grounded to avoid electrical hazards

Question 6: What is a critical safety consideration when operating a crane near overhead power lines?

Which action should you take?
