AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) all of the above. The safe and efficient use of the face piece of a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is directly influenced by the stowing, donning, and maintenance of the face piece. Proper stowage ensures the face piece is readily available and undamaged. Correct donning procedures ensure a tight seal and prevent air leaks. Routine maintenance, such as cleaning and inspecting the face piece, is critical to its reliable operation. Neglecting any of these factors can compromise the safety and effectiveness of the SCBA face piece, which is a vital piece of personal protective equipment for Coast Guard personnel.
