When that ability is interrupted at any time, the operator did not safely stop operations requiring signals until it is reestablished and a proper signal is given and understood: On or about July 21, 2014, at the above addressed jobsite, employees were exposed to being struck-by a joist which was suspended by a crane, while the crane's signal man was using both hands to guide the joist and was unable to use the radio to transmit signals to the crane operator.
