70% to pass

What should be given, as a minimum, to personnel who are involved in crane cargo handling?

A Protective head gear, gloves, and steel-toed safety shoes
B A survival suit for work on the stern or side port
C A life preserver for going aloft to work on the crane
D All of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Protective head gear, gloves, and steel-toed safety shoes. This is the minimum personal protective equipment (PPE) required for personnel involved in crane cargo handling operations according to U.S. Coast Guard regulations. Crane operations involve potential hazards such as falling objects, pinch points, and slippery surfaces, which necessitate the use of protective head gear, gloves, and steel-toed shoes to ensure the safety of the workers. The other options are not the minimum required PPE. Option B, a survival suit, is not necessary for general crane cargo handling, and option C, a life preserver, is only required for personnel working aloft, not for ground-level crane operations.
