What is required to be stenciled at the heel of a cargo boom?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Safe working load.
According to Coast Guard regulations, the safe working load (SWL) of a cargo boom must be stenciled at the heel of the boom. This is required so that the safe load capacity of the boom is clearly marked and visible to those operating the equipment. The SWL is the maximum weight that the boom can safely lift, and this information is critical for maintaining safe cargo handling operations.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not represent the specific requirement for marking the safe working load on the cargo boom.
