Question 1481Deck Safety70% to pass
Each EPIRB and SART for lifeboats shall be tested _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) monthly.
According to U.S. Coast Guard regulations, each EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) and SART (Search and Rescue Transponder) for lifeboats must be tested monthly. This ensures that these critical safety devices are regularly checked and maintained to be in proper working condition in case they need to be used during an emergency at sea.
The other options are incorrect because weekly (A) or every 2 weeks (B) testing would be too frequent, while every 3 months (D) would be too infrequent to adequately ensure the readiness of this safety equipment.
