New ISO standard on hand signals used in lifting operations [INTL]
- #ISO 14001
Thus, the standard determines “a set of universal hand signals for adoption wherever lifting operations take place in building or construction, making those operations safer and more efficient”.
As a reminder, in a press release issued on 4 July 2014, ISO announced that the revision of ISO 14001 has been made available as a Draft International Standard (DIS) which is now open to public comment and purchase, allowing organisations to prepare for the final publication of the standard at the end of 2015. Anyone with expertise or experience may submit their contributions and comments via their national ISO member body.Sources :
