Question 298 Deck General

The correct answer is B) Never exceed crane manufacturer's limits concerning the safe working loads of cargo jibs. This is correct because it is critical to adhere to the manufacturer's specified safe working load limits for the crane's cargo jibs. Exceeding these limits can lead to catastrophic failures and serious injuries or fatalities. The crane operator must strictly follow the manufacturer's guidelines and limitations to ensure the safety of crane cargo operations. The other options are incorrect because A) cargo loaded into vehicles and containers must always be properly secured before lifting, C) lifting points on all equipment must be thoroughly checked prior to any lift to ensure safety, and D) a combination of A and C would not be accurate, as B is the only correct statement.
