Where can I get pictures of the hand signals used by equipment and crane spotters on construction sites

Soulburner has some good sites there. But the most important hand signal is missing. I will attempt to describe it. Take your hand and put you fingers together with your thumb sticking out. Now bend the thumb and fingers towards each other so they form the letter "C ". Now hold your hand near your chin with your thumb and fingers pointing toward your mouth. Now make an open mouth chewing motion. This is the approved signal for breaktime.

Most states operate a dept of osha. They should have the accepted hand signal chart available
