A. Written notification to local authorities
B. Passing a certification exam
C. A daily safety briefing
D. A minimum of five years’ experience
B. Passing a certification exam
OSHA mandates that crane operators must be certified through
an accredited program before operating cranes.
2. What is the main hazard associated with lifting loads near
power lines?
A. Falling objects
B. Electrocution
C. Overloading the crane
D. Operator fatigue
B. Electrocution
Contact with energized lines can result in serious injury or
death.
3. What is the maximum allowable slope for setting up a mobile
crane?
A. 2 degrees
B. 5 degrees
C. As specified in the manufacturer’s manual
D. 10 degrees
C. As specified in the manufacturer’s manual
Crane stability depends on manufacturer-specific guidelines for
slopes and outriggers.
,4. Which type of crane is typically used for high-rise construction?
A. Tower crane
B. Overhead crane
C. Gantry crane
D. Crawler crane
A. Tower crane
Tower cranes provide height and lifting capacity for tall building
construction.
5. Before starting a lift, the operator must:
A. Inspect the crane and area for hazards
B. Turn off all alarms
C. Remove all counterweights
D. Skip rigging if load is light
A. Inspect the crane and area for hazards

equipment readiness.
6. Which factor affects the crane’s rated capacity?
A. Boom length and angle
B. Operator age
C. Time of day
D. Weather forecast only
A. Boom length and angle
Rated capacity depends on configuration, not operator
characteristics.
7. What is the purpose of a tag line?
A. To lift heavier loads
B. To stabilize and guide loads
C. To secure the crane to the ground
D. To mark load capacity
B. To stabilize and guide loads

D. Every ten years
A. Daily, monthly, and annually depending on type
OSHA requires periodic inspections to ensure crane safety.
9. Which factor is most critical when rigging a load?
A. Color of the rigging
B. Load weight and center of gravity
C. Operator’s experience
D. Weather conditions
B. Load weight and center of gravity
Proper rigging requires knowledge of weight, balance, and load
stability.
10. What is the function of the crane’s outriggers?
A. To extend boom length
B. To increase stability and prevent tipping
C. To lift heavier loads
D. To slow down operations
B. To increase stability and prevent tipping
Outriggers distribute the crane’s weight over a larger area.
11. Which signal indicates “Stop” when using hand signals?
A. Arm extended horizontally
B. Both arms raised vertically
C. One arm swinging in a circle
D. Waving side to side
B. Both arms raised vertically
