This artwork is for mobile crane signaling, not an overhead-crane signal chart or a universal chart for every type of lifting equipment. Compare it with the signaling system required for your equipment and operation. A printed reference does not replace signal-person training, qualification, or agreed operating procedures, and displaying it does not by itself establish compliance.
