How should a dogman position themselves while directing a load?

The correct positioning for a dogman while directing a load is to be in a clear view of both the crane operator and the load. This positioning is essential for effective communication and safety during lifting operations. By placing themselves where they can be easily seen by the crane operator, the dogman can use clear signals to guide the operation, ensuring that the load is moved safely and accurately.

Moreover, being in sight of the load allows the dogman to monitor its movement, assess any hazards in the surrounding environment, and make timely decisions to avoid accidents. This proactive approach enhances safety for both the crew and the load, ensuring that everyone is aware of what is happening during the lift.
