Question 651 Deck General
70% to passWhich action(s) should the operator of a pedestal crane take if crane control is lost?
The correct answer is D) All of the above. If the operator of a pedestal crane loses control, they should take the following actions: 1. Let go of both control levers and return them to the neutral position. This removes any active control inputs and helps prevent unintended crane movement. 2. Notify the mate on watch. Informing the appropriate personnel helps ensure the issue is addressed and the crane is made safe. 3. Press the emergency stop. This immediately shuts down the crane's power supply, bringing the crane to a safe, controlled stop. Performing all these actions together is the appropriate response to a loss of crane control, as it helps secure the crane and alert the necessary personnel to the situation.
