Warning: Our crew's hook-up time on a 150-ton crawler went from 45 minutes to under 20 after we switched to using a specific hand signal for 'tagline tension ready'.

The foreman says it's just a small change, but the rigger who pushed for it argues it's a major safety and efficiency protocol that should be standard, so what's your take on formalizing non-standard signals?
