1.3 HAND SIGNALS
When the operator has to position loads in conditions with a reduced field of vision, assign a person (signaller) to signal the
manoeuvres to be performed, using the specific signals established by the standards.
When additional instructions to those defined in the hand signalling system are required, these must be agreed on by the signaller
and the operator before starting the movement of the load and/or the machine.
CAUTION No movement or operation must be carried out without the signals being
clearly understood by the signaller and the operator.
Signals should only come from one person.
The operator must check that the signaller is always in his field of vision and
follow all his signals.

Rotate your hand in small circles, with your forearm positioned vertically
and your forefinger pointing upwards.
LOWER THE LOAD VERTICALLY
Rotate your hand in small circles, with one arm extended and your
forefinger pointing downwards.
MOVE THE LOAD AWAY HORIZONTALLY
Stretch one arm out in front of you, with your hand in a vertical position
facing the load to be moved away, and move your hand in the direction of
the movement to be performed.
