Where should climbing instructions be located during operations?

Climbing instructions should be located on-site to ensure they are readily accessible to the operator and other personnel involved in crane operations. This accessibility is vital for ensuring safety and compliance with operational procedures. Having climbing instructions on-site allows for immediate reference, especially in situations where quick decisions need to be made regarding the crane's operation or maintenance.

On-site instructions can be part of safety signage or a set of operating procedures posted in the vicinity of the crane. This minimizes the chance of operators misinterpreting instructions or forgetting critical safety steps, which could lead to accidents or equipment damage.

The other options suggest alternatives that could delay access to crucial safety information or be less effective in emergency situations. For instance, while the operator's manual might contain these instructions, it is typically too cumbersome to consult quickly during operations. Offsite locations may remove immediate access, increasing the risk of overlooking important safety protocols. The remote control area, while pertinent for control operations, is not the ideal location for static safety information that needs to be frequently referenced.
