select the best option.

Explanation:

Operating a crane requires strict safety protocols. Checking for overhead power lines is crucial as contact with them can cause electrocution. Not all worksite personnel need to be crane operators (only the operator needs qualification). Personnel should not walk under the load (risk of injury if load falls). Adding riders to the load is extremely dangerous.

Answer:

Check for overhead power lines
