List FIVE factors that must be taken into account by the operator if a load is to be travelled across a site. 15 What checks need to be taken before a lifting accessory can be used? 16 If a load chart is not available for suspended loads or for the type of attachment, in what situations can the machine be used? 17 Travelling in a forward direction with a suspended load which has a large surface area, even though within safe limits, can be hazardous for what THREE reasons? 18 a) In what circumstance can the machine’s boom be extended for pick-and-carry/travelling duties and b) what must be taken into account if it needs to be extended? 19 In terms of visibility, turning to the right with a raised boom can be more hazardous for what reason? 20 a) What is the purpose of a lift plan and b) when would one be required? 21 Explain the effect that could happen when turning left or right with a suspended load, even gently? 22 The safe working load (SWL) of a multi-leg chain sling only applies in what TWO conditions or configuration? 23 Accessories or attachments for suspended loads must only be attached to manufacturer’s approved lifting point. Explain THREE possible consequences if the recommendations are not followed. 24 If the operator has to attach their own load, what should they ensure before leaving the cab of the machine? 25 If the load inadvertently or accidentally catches the ground whilst travelling, what course of action should be taken? 26 When picking up a suspended load, what constitutes the total weight that is to be lifted by the machine? 27 Travelling with a suspended load on uneven ground/rough terrain may be hazardous for what reason? 28 Why should the standard load chart for fork operations not be used for suspended load operations? 29
