70% to pass

The signal man assisting the crane operator has his hands clasped in front of his body. This is the signal to _______________.

A stop
B prepare for signal
C dog everything
D stand-by
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) dog everything. The hand signal of the signalman having his hands clasped in front of his body indicates that the crane operator should "dog everything" or secure all loads and movements. This is a standard hand signal used in crane operations to communicate to the operator that they should stop all crane movements and secure the load. The other options are incorrect because: A) stop - This is a different hand signal, typically one hand raised in the air. B) prepare for signal - This does not accurately describe the meaning of the clasped hands signal. D) stand-by - This is also a different hand signal, typically one hand raised and palm facing outward.
