Who should inspect and test an inflatable life raft?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) An approved servicing facility.
The reason this is the correct answer is that inflatable life rafts must be inspected and serviced at regular intervals by an approved servicing facility. This is a requirement under the regulations governing life-saving equipment on vessels. Approved servicing facilities have the necessary training, equipment, and expertise to properly inspect, test, and maintain inflatable life rafts to ensure they will function correctly in an emergency.
The other answer choices are incorrect because shipyard personnel do not have the specialized training for this task, the person in charge may not have the required expertise, and a certificated lifeboatman does not necessarily have the qualifications to service an inflatable life raft.
