What does Signal 8 mean?

• A. Go to yard
• B. Call the office
• C. Lower the load
• D. Inspect equipment

Answer: (B)

Signal numbers guide what to do next on the job site, and this one directs you to contact the office. When you see it, the safest and most appropriate step is to reach the supervisor or dispatcher to get instructions, or to report a situation that needs official guidance. It keeps decisions coordinated and prevents unilateral actions that could complicate safety or workflow. The other actions—going to the yard, lowering the load, or inspecting equipment—are specific tasks that would follow after receiving the proper direction, not the general instruction to call the office.
