Where should the dogger be positioned when directing a crane with a suspended work box?

The appropriate positioning of the dogger while directing a crane with a suspended work box is to ensure effective communication and safety during the operation. In this case, positioning the dogger inside the crane box aligns with the need for the dogger to have an unobstructed line of sight to the work area and the workers inside the box. This enhances their ability to communicate effectively with both the crane operator and the workers, leading to better coordination and safety while the crane is in operation.

This option underscores the importance of real-time communication, where the dogger can provide immediate feedback and guidance to the crane operator concerning the positioning and movement of the suspended load. Being in the crane box allows for enhanced situational awareness, as the dogger can directly observe both the load and any potential hazards in the vicinity.

Ensuring that the dogger is in a position where they can see and hear adequately is crucial in preventing accidents and ensuring that the task proceeds smoothly.
