Which part of the rescue hook is specifically designated for hoisting personnel?

The large hook is specifically designed for hoisting personnel in rescue operations. This hook is robust and has a wide opening that allows it to securely connect to harnesses or other equipment used by the person being rescued. Its size and strength ensure that it can accommodate the safe lifting of individuals, even in challenging conditions. This is crucial in rescue scenarios where the stability and security of the person being hoisted must be guaranteed to prevent accidents and ensure their safety during extraction.

Each of the other hooks serves different purposes—such as the small hook, which is typically used for lighter loads or securing smaller gear; the utility hook, designed for versatile tasks that may not involve personnel; and the rescue loop, which is used to create a secure attachment point for various operations, but does not provide the same level of hoisting capability as the large hook.
