What should a signal person communicate to the crane operator?

A signal person communicates directive signals to the crane operator to ensure safe and efficient operation of the crane. These signals provide the necessary instructions that guide the crane operator in lifting, moving, and positioning loads. The importance of these signals cannot be overstated as they help maintain coordination between the signal person and the crane operator, facilitating clear and effective communication during lifting activities.

While other elements such as load characteristics and weather conditions can be relevant to the overall operation, they do not replace the need for directive signals, which are crucial for immediate and specific actions that the crane operator must follow. Personal opinions are generally not relevant in this professional context as they do not contribute to the safety or efficiency of crane operations. Therefore, directive signals are essential for ensuring that all lifting procedures are carried out correctly and safely.
