AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) All the above. This is the correct answer because all three statements are true regarding crane cargo operations: 1) During any cargo handling operation, the safety of personnel is paramount, as required by safety regulations. 2) Exceeding the rated load capacity of the crane, container spreader, or slings can lead to equipment failure and potential injury, so this must be strictly adhered to. 3) Cargo handlers must be provided with and use adequate personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect them from potential hazards during cargo operations. The other options are incorrect because they do not encompass all the key safety requirements for crane cargo operations.
