What should the operator do upon receiving a stop signal?

Raise the load higher
Resume movement toward the destination
Lower to the floor and adjust the rigging
Disconnect the power supply

The correct answer is: Lower to the floor and adjust the rigging

When an operator receives a stop signal, the appropriate action is to lower the load to the floor and adjust the rigging. This ensures the safety of both the operator and any personnel in the vicinity. Lowering the load stabilizes it and eliminates the risk of it becoming a suspended hazard that could lead to accidents. Adjusting the rigging afterward is essential to ensure that the load is secure for future lifts. This practice is crucial in maintaining safety protocols and responding effectively to unexpected situations during operations. Actions like raising the load higher, resuming movement, or disconnecting the power supply would not address the immediate need for safety and could lead to hazardous situations, emphasizing the importance of following the correct protocol upon receiving a stop signal.
