,1. Who is responsible for overall planning and supervision of a crane lift
operation on a construction site?
A. Crane operator
B. Rigger
C. Lift director
D. Signal person
The lift director is designated by the employer to oversee all aspects of the

must maintain from a 50 kV power line unless specific precautions are
taken?
A. 6 feet

A. Any lift over 10,000 pounds
B. A lift that requires detailed planning due to complexity, risk, or
proximity to hazards
C. A lift performed at night
D. A lift using multiple cranes only
Critical lifts involve high risk due to load weight, configuration, proximity to
hazards, or use of multiple cranes, requiring formal lift plans.
6. When must a written lift plan be developed according to ASME P30?
A. For all lifts over 5 tons
B. For all critical lifts and when required by the employer or site-
specific procedures
C. Only for personnel lifts
D. Only when using tower cranes
