Question 3357Deck General70% to pass
On offshore drilling units, each EPIRB or SART must be tested once every _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) month.
The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) requires that each Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) and Search and Rescue Transponder (SART) on offshore drilling units be tested once every month. This ensures that these critical safety devices are regularly checked and confirmed to be functioning properly in the event of an emergency.
The other answer choices are incorrect because daily or weekly testing would be too frequent, while annual testing would be too infrequent to adequately ensure the reliable operation of EPIRBs and SARTs on offshore drilling units.
