70% to pass

On offshore drilling units, boat drills must be conducted at least _______________.

A monthly
B quarterly
C daily
D annually
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) monthly. According to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 46, Section 109.213, boat drills must be conducted on offshore drilling units at least monthly. This regulation ensures that crew members are regularly trained and prepared to respond to emergencies that may require the use of lifeboats or other survival craft. The other answer choices are incorrect because quarterly (B) and annual (D) drills would not meet the minimum monthly requirement, while daily (C) drills would be excessively frequent for this type of operation.
