Question 702Deck General70% to pass
You will load class 1.2 commercial explosives and need to construct a portable magazine. The magazine MUST _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) be elevated with skids 10cm (3.9 inches) above the deck.
This is the correct answer because the US Coast Guard regulations require portable magazines for Class 1.2 commercial explosives to be elevated at least 10cm (3.9 inches) above the deck. This elevation helps prevent the magazine from coming into contact with water or other liquids, which could potentially compromise the integrity of the explosives.
The other options are incorrect because: A) nails or screws are not required for the magazine construction, B) the magazine does not necessarily need to be made of metal, and C) a hinged cover is not a mandatory requirement.
