What ASME volume is designated for hand signaling a mobile crane?

The designation for hand signaling a mobile crane falls under ASME B30.5, which specifically addresses the safety standards and practices for mobile and locomotive cranes. This volume provides guidelines on the proper signaling methods, including visual signals used between signal persons and crane operators to ensure safe operations. Understanding and adhering to these standards is crucial for maintaining compliance with safety regulations and ensuring effective communication on construction sites.

The other volumes are designated for different types of cranes or specific crane-related practices, which do not apply to mobile cranes directly. For example, ASME B30.3 pertains to tower cranes, while ASME B30.6 is focused on derrick cranes, and ASME B30.9 deals with slings. Each of these volumes has its own set of regulations and guidelines tailored to the respective types of equipment, but they do not cover the hand signaling protocols associated with mobile cranes specifically.
