Question 826 Deck General
70% to passYou are the mate on watch during cargo operations and are conducting the inspection of a hold containing class 3 substances. In accordance with U.S. regulations which of the following is true of any hand flashlight you may be using?
A
it must be suitable for use in non-hazardous locations
B
it must be suitable for use in hazardous locations
C
the power source must not exceed three volts
D
it must be USCG approved
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) it must be suitable for use in hazardous locations. This is because when conducting cargo operations involving class 3 (flammable liquid) substances, the area is considered a hazardous location. Regulations require the use of explosion-proof or intrinsically safe equipment, including any hand flashlights, to minimize the risk of igniting flammable vapors. Option A is incorrect as a non-hazardous location flashlight would not be suitable. Options C and D are also incorrect, as the regulations do not specify a power source limit or require USCG approval for the flashlight.
