Question 704Deck General70% to pass
Your vessel is preparing for cargo operations. Prior to handling Class 1 explosives the responsible person must ensure which of the following?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) that all sources of electromagnetic radiation are de-energized.
This is because prior to handling Class 1 explosives, it is crucial to eliminate all potential sources of ignition, including electromagnetic radiation, to prevent accidental detonation. Deenergizing electromagnetic sources, such as radars, radios, and other electrical equipment, removes the risk of stray electrical currents or sparks that could set off the explosives. The other options, while potentially important for cargo operations, do not directly address the specific safety requirement for handling Class 1 explosives.
