Incident, Defect, Record and Handover Control
Respond to dropped loads, damaged gear, overload alarms, crane defects, maintenance lockout, logbooks and shift handover.
How to study crane and rigging decisions
Practice like a lift supervisor: verify competent people, calculate the actual lift, protect the ground, inspect every lifting point, control the load path, stop for communication or weather failures, and document defects before the next shift inherits them.
Core concepts
Concept 1
Stop lifting, secure the area, inspect load and gear for shock damage, quarantine suspect gear, investigate and reapprove before restart.
Exam cue: dropped load near miss
Concept 2
Stop the lift, lower safely if possible, verify load, radius and configuration, preserve alarm evidence, and restart only after approved correction.
Exam cue: overload alarm response
Concept 3
Stop and secure the load, take the crane out of service if safe support or movement is affected, tag the defect and require competent repair.
Exam cue: hydraulic leak defect

Risk pitfalls and guardrails
Treating verbal permission as written authorization.
Guardrail: Avoid verbal approval, copied readings, skipped isolation, and after-the-fact record traps.
Proceeding without recording readings, isolation, PPE, or exposure-control evidence.
Guardrail: Avoid verbal approval, copied readings, skipped isolation, and after-the-fact record traps.
Choosing a generic answer without checking state variation or the latest official notice.
Guardrail: Avoid verbal approval, copied readings, skipped isolation, and after-the-fact record traps.
Memory anchors
dropped load near miss
Stop lifting, secure the area, inspect load and gear for shock damage, quarantine suspect gear, investigate and reapprove before restart.
overload alarm response
Stop the lift, lower safely if possible, verify load, radius and configuration, preserve alarm evidence, and restart only after approved correction.
hydraulic leak defect
Stop and secure the load, take the crane out of service if safe support or movement is affected, tag the defect and require competent repair.
shift handover logbook
Complete handover with logbook, defect status, setup changes, permits, inspections and lift-plan revisions before the next shift operates.
Official source check
Verify eligibility, forms, fees, validity, and safety requirements with State Factories Inspectorates / Directorate of Industrial Safety and Health / Sector skill and lifting-equipment safety authorities or the current state authority notice.
Stop-work cue
If identity, authorization, isolation, PPE, exposure limits, or emergency controls are unclear, stop work and escalate.
Record cue
Exam-safe answers protect written records, competent sign-off, instrument readings, and traceable corrections.
Shortcut trap
Fast results, verbal approval, copied certificates, and undocumented adjustments are common trap answers.
Checkpoint rule
Do the check-up only after you can summarize each concept in one sentence and identify one dangerous pitfall from memory.

Check-up Questions
The overload alarm sounds briefly during pickup and clears when the operator lowers the load. What should happen before another attempt?
A suspended load drops 100 mm when a sling connection slips, then remains attached. What is the immediate priority?
