Question 3138Deck General70% to pass
A new crewman reports on board. He must be trained in the use of the ship's lifesaving appliances within what time period?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 2 weeks.
According to the regulations set by the United States Coast Guard, a new crewmember must be trained in the use of the ship's lifesaving appliances within 2 weeks of reporting on board. This requirement ensures that all crew members are familiar with the proper operation of the lifesaving equipment in case of an emergency, which is crucial for the safety of the vessel and its personnel.
The other options are incorrect because 1 month (A) and 2 months (C) are too long of a timeframe, and "before sailing" (D) is too vague and does not provide a specific timeline.
