When using a crane for transferring personnel in a basket, the load hook must be equipped with a _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) safety latch.
When using a crane to transfer personnel in a basket, the load hook must be equipped with a safety latch. This is a requirement specified in the U.S. Coast Guard regulations for crane operations. The safety latch helps prevent the load from accidentally being detached from the hook, which is critical for the safety of the personnel being transferred.
The other options are incorrect because they do not meet the specific regulatory requirement for a safety latch on the load hook. A safety belt for each rider (A) is not the correct equipment for the crane hook. A moused shackle (C) is not the same as a safety latch. A quick-release device (D) is not the same as a safety latch, which has a different purpose.
