What action should a signal person take upon noticing a hazardous condition?

When a signal person identifies a hazardous condition, the appropriate action is to stop the operation immediately and communicate the issue to both the crane operator and the site supervisor. This response is vital for ensuring the safety of all personnel on the job site. Recognizing that a hazardous condition poses a risk to workers and equipment underscores the importance of prioritizing safety over work continuity.

Stopping operations allows for an immediate assessment of the situation, enabling necessary precautions to be implemented. By notifying both the crane operator and the site supervisor, the signal person ensures that those in charge are aware of the hazard and can take further action, such as evacuating the area or making necessary adjustments to mitigate the risk.

This course of action aligns with safety protocols and regulations that are designed to protect workers under potentially dangerous conditions, ensuring their well-being is critically prioritized.
