Question 3750 Deck General
70% to passHow wide must the safety net be that is required on the unprotected perimeter of the helicopter landing deck on a MODU?
A
2.0 meters
B
1.5 meters
C
1.0 meter
D
2.5 meters
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 1.5 meters. The width of the safety net required on the unprotected perimeter of the helicopter landing deck on a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) is specified in 46 CFR 109.555(b), which states that the safety net must be at least 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) wide. This regulation ensures that the safety net provides adequate protection around the landing deck to prevent personnel from falling overboard. The other options are incorrect because 2.0 meters (A) is too wide, 1.0 meter (C) is too narrow, and 2.5 meters (D) exceeds the regulatory requirement.
