I remember Matt posted a hand signal chart, but it seems to be gone. I used the Googler and it only had a small one that the NRMCA wanted to sell (SELL!) for $10.
Anybody else have one? I'm putting together a safety meeting next week about mixer safety for the QC department, and I think this would be a great visual aid.

There is another hand signal that I've wanted to use several times, but I know how it would all end up.

Oh yeah, that hand signal would be my favorite one, if it weren't so controversial.
Thanks.

the hand signal you are refering to could apply to most customers and even a few co-workers

I can usually tell what a chute man is going to do before he does.

I remember one time on a job, I was in the truck, the chute man (also boss over this small crew) had one signal for EVERYTHING. Pull up, back up, discharge, it was basically all the same hand/arm motion. He was a real jerk too. If you thought he wanted you to discharge and he really was wanting you to pull up, he'd just let go of the chute and stand there, staring at you in the mirror.
I finally had enough and hopped out.
I said "man, come on. I have no idea what you want me to do. This (and I made his hand motion) isn't telling me much. We need to send you to Hand Signal School."
We laughed for a minute and finally got on with our jobs.
Would've been nice to have this chart 6 years ago.
He has since passed on. He was a tough cookie. Once he got to know me, we became buds, but was often a jerk to most people.
Thanks for the chart.
