Deck General USCG Question #431 (Set 13)

Which statement(s) is/are TRUE concerning crane cargo operations?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — Never exceed crane manufacturer's limits concerning the safe working loads of cargo jibs.

Safety regulations mandate that crane operations strictly adhere to the manufacturer's rated safe working load (SWL) for cargo jibs across all operating radii. Exceeding these limits risks structural failure, boom collapse, and severe personnel injury during heavy-lift cargo handling operations.
