What i found interesting on your explanation is you covered the topic that is most or normally confusing on stadards or guidlines, you did the interpretation great.
In situation where you can't get in touch with crane driver maybe he lost consciousness how would he be rescued from there or in the bird cage when crane brakes down?
Thanks for your question. FoS for the capacities of various lifting equipment is specified within the relevant EN design standards. LOLER recommends a Factor of Safety of 2:1 when lifting persons with equipment that is not specifically, but can be safely used, for that purpose.
