Clear communication is non-negotiable in crane operations. Our crane hand signals posters feature the “Standard Method” required by OSHA 1926.1419 and ASME B30.5. These high-visibility charts provide unambiguous visual instructions for hoist, boom, and travel movements, ensuring seamless coordination between the signal person and the operator. Essential for reducing “struck-by” hazards and maintaining jobsite compliance.

Crane hand signals posters illustrating standard gestures used for safe lifting and rigging communication.
The Standard Method for Mobile and Tower Crane Signaling
OSHA mandates that hand signals must be the "Standard Method" unless infeasible. Our crane signal charts meticulously illustrate the universal gestures for every critical maneuver:
-
Emergency Stop & Dog Everything: High-contrast visuals for the most important safety commands.
-
Boom & Load Control: Clear depictions of "Raise/Lower Boom" and "Hoist/Lower Load" with thumb and finger positions designed for long-distance recognition.
-
Travel & Swing: Directional signals for crawler and truck-mounted equipment.
Qualified Signal Person Documentation & Site Requirements
Per OSHA 1926.1428, employers must ensure signal persons are qualified through practical and oral/written tests. Posting these standard lifting communication charts at the operator's station and in the vicinity of the lift serves as a vital on-the-job reminder and a compliance safeguard.
Industrial Durability for Extreme Site Conditions
Crane operations don't stop for dust or rain, and neither should your safety signs. Our Industrial Safety Art posters are printed with UV-stable inks and heavy-duty lamination. They are engineered to stay legible in high-glare environments and resist the grease and grime common in equipment maintenance bays and construction site trailers.
