Am I the only one who struggles with crane signals in loud environments?
On busy sites, verbal signals get drowned out by noise. I started using colored flags along with hand signals to make sure the operator sees them. What do you guys do to improve signal clarity when it's noisy?

A forklift backup alarm once made me jump straight into a mud pit, derekl79.

We used bright orange flags on my last site because the regular hand signals just vanished in all that racket. I once gave a stop signal the operator completely missed, and my whole life flashed before my eyes for a second. Anything that adds an extra visual layer is a total lifesaver. How heavy are the flags you're using, do they flap around too much in the wind?
