Construction Crane Signals

About this game

Heavy equipment operators aren’t the only ones who need to know proper hand signals for construction. The Construction Crane Signals tool is for all construction trades to practice their understanding of mobile crane hand signals.

In this 23 question quiz, players must choose the appropriate hand signal animation based on the on-screen prompt. Choose correctly, and see the crane complete the task successfully. Choose incorrectly, and witness a disastrous accident. Receive feedback on the signals you missed and review them in the reference section of the application. Players who earn a perfect score on the quiz can generate a certificate of completion.

Construction Crane Signals:
-Quiz mode featuring 23 different hand signals plus common wrong signals
-High quality animations of each hand signal
-Reference section to review each signal individually
-Switch perspectives between the signal person’s point of view and the operator’s point of view
-Certificate of completion for scoring 100%

Construction Crane Signals engages players in identifying and practicing their knowledge of the standard mobile crane hand signals, and was made possible by the generous contributions of the International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 66 and the Constructors Association of Western Pennsylvania.

The certificate in the app recognizes the player’s in-game performance and has no merit upon real life aptitude. See OSHA site for signal person qualification requirements: https://www.osha.gov/Publications/cranes-signal-person-factsheet.html

Ratings and reviews

Great app to learn basics of real-world crane signaling. Would've loved to see a sentence or a bit of a better explanation on the "dog everything" part of the tutorial (it's probably construction jargon that not everyone knows the meaning of). Finally would also like to be able to edit the entered name to fix typos at the "certificate" part without having to reset the entire game. Otherwise, maybe put a warning or add a name confirmation screen if you want to limit name edits to the certificate.

A positive issue is the consultation with the IUOE and an ironworker local, which makes all these questions absolutely legally correct with their answers. IRL, the signal person ideally would not be so abrupt between signals, it would be a signal that means "...and...." (something easily observed rather than described). BTW, the "dog everything" is never used, except by unhappy pipefitters.

This app is the best tutorial app it helps in learning fast. about the certification, is it legit can one print it out to add on one's document or is it only for the app?
