70% to pass

Which safety precaution(s) should be observed during crane operations?

A Relaying communications to port agents on the pier during cargo hoists
B Using the proper slings or other lifting devices during cargo operations
C Checking for proper lifting from beneath the load during cargo operations
D All of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) Using the proper slings or other lifting devices during cargo operations. This is the correct answer because the use of proper slings and lifting devices is a critical safety precaution during crane operations. Regulations require that cargo be lifted using equipment designed and rated for the specific load being moved, in order to prevent equipment failure, load shifting, or dropped loads, which could lead to serious injury or damage. The other options, while potentially relevant in other contexts, do not directly address the key safety requirement of using proper lifting equipment during crane operations.
