Question 1516Deck Safety70% to pass
Limit switches, winches, falls, etc. must be thoroughly inspected at least every _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) year.
According to the regulations governing the inspection and maintenance of lifesaving equipment on U.S. Coast Guard-inspected vessels, limit switches, winches, falls, and other lifesaving equipment must be thoroughly inspected at least once a year. This requirement is specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 46, Section 199.190(g), which states that these components must be inspected "at least once a year."
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not align with the regulatory requirement of annual inspections. Inspecting these critical components every 2 months, 6 months, or 4 months would exceed the minimum standard set by the regulations.
