if you need to review this content, it can be found in the cranes and slings module of the materials handling, storage, use, and disposal topic.

Explanation:

• "Ensure that all worksite personnel are qualified crane operators" is incorrect because not all personnel at a worksite need to be crane operators. Only the crane operator needs to be qualified.
• "Check for overhead power lines" is a crucial safety precaution. Contact with overhead power lines can cause electrocution and other serious accidents.
• "Ensure that the worksite personnel are walking directly underneath the load" is wrong. Personnel should not walk under the load as it can fall and cause injury.
• "Add riders to the crane's load to secure the load, if necessary" is dangerous. Riders on the load can be seriously injured if the load shifts or falls.

Answer:

Check for overhead power lines
