Question 2721Deck General70% to pass
Each life preserver must be readily accessible to the person for whom it is intended while he or she is _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) BOTH at work and in his or her berthing area.
The reasoning behind this is that according to US Coast Guard regulations, each life preserver must be readily accessible to the person for whom it is intended, not just in their work area, but also in their berthing (sleeping) area. This ensures that the life preserver is available to the person at all times, both during work activities and when resting in their living quarters on the vessel.
The other options are incorrect because they either limit the accessibility of the life preserver to only the work area (option B) or only the berthing area (option A), which does not meet the full regulatory requirement.
