ACTUAL Exam Questions and CORRECT
Answers
In what situation does a hard hat NOT need to be worn when operating a mobile crane? -
CORRECT ANSWER When the operator is in an enclosed structure that meets the FOPS
regulation FALLING OBJECT STRUCTURE
Wind speeds can be variable throughout the working day. What action must be taken to ensure
safe working conditions are maintained? - CORRECT ANSWER Wind speeds must be
constanly monitored
Name THREE ways in which an operator can minimise their impact upon the environment
whilst using the machine. - CORRECT ANSWER Efficient use of the crane , Lower
engine speed ,Well maintained machine, Correct disposal waste , planning the work before to
maximise efficiency
When working in a confined area or space: what danger can be present with regards to the
counterweight of the machine, when should measures be taken and what measures should be
implemented? - CORRECT ANSWER The gap between the counterweight and a structure
being reduced or contacted the object structure when slewing . Minimum 600mm . Ensure
sufficient clearance or block the access in the area .
As a lifting machine, the crane must be thoroughly examined. What is the purpose of the
examination and who would carry out the examination? - CORRECT ANSWER To ensure
the crane is free from structural defects and problems not covered by the daily checks . AN
AUTHORISED AND COMPETENT PERSON
Two cranes are working in the same vicinity that encroach the operating radius of each. What
actions would the lift plan or method statement normally specify? - CORRECT
ANSWER Crane Co-ordinator , Slew Restrictors , Crash Radio's
, Why should a crane be re-fuelled at the end of the day? - CORRECT ANSWER To
prevent condensation building up in the tank as it's cooling down
Which parts of the crane is the radius (for lifting) measured from? - CORRECT
ANSWER From the centre of the slew ring to the central point of the hook
What is the purpose of a roll or ROPS frame? - CORRECT ANSWER The purpose of the
ROPS is to provide protection in the eventuality of a rollover with the machine ROLL OVER

What is the main purpose of the Rated Capacity Indicator (RCI)? - CORRECT
ANSWER A device that automatically provides to the operator warnings that the load is
approaching or is Exceeding the rated capacity of the crane within a specified tolernce
Who only can authorise partial outrigger extensions and what is the effect on lifting capacity by
partially extending the outriggers? - CORRECT ANSWER The Manufacturer , Lifting
Capacity is normally reduced
Name THREE ways in which wind speed can affect the lifting operation. - CORRECT
ANSWER Can cause load swing , can Slow or Increase the Slew speed of the crane , can
shut down lifting opertions
