Crane Hand Signals

Often, a crane operator does not have a clear view of the load during a lift, so he must rely on a spotter, or signal person, to guide him. Safe lifting requires a reliable communication channel between the crane operator and the signal person. Even though radios can be used, hand signals are often the most reliable form of communication.

Target Audience

Crane operators, as well as workers who guide or participate in crane operations.

Objectives

• Describe the importance of standard hand signals for directing crane operation

• Describe the role and requirements of a signal person
