70% to pass

When hoisting personnel from a vessel, with the MODU cranes, the crane operator must assure that _______________.

A he does not swing the load until it is above the landing area

B the personnel carrier remains directly over water

C all personnel are inside the net type carrier

D the personnel carrier remains directly over the vessel

AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) he does not swing the load until it is above the landing area. The reasoning for this is that when hoisting personnel, the crane operator must ensure that the load is not swung over the vessel or water until it is directly above the safe landing area. This is a critical safety measure to prevent the personnel carrier from swinging and potentially striking the vessel or dropping the personnel into the water. The other options, while important considerations, do not address the specific requirement of not swinging the load until it is above the landing area.
