Question 3232Deck General70% to pass
If a man falls overboard from a rig under tow, you should FIRST _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) deploy life buoys.
When a person falls overboard from a rig under tow, the immediate priority should be to deploy life buoys or other floating devices to the person's location. This allows the person in the water to stay afloat and be more easily spotted and retrieved. Sounding the general alarm (A) or notifying the tug (D) are important next steps, but the first action should be to get flotation to the person in the water. Launching a boat (C) may not be the quickest way to render assistance and could put additional personnel at risk.
