When evacuating a seaman by helicopter lift, which statement is TRUE?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) The litter should not be touched until it has been grounded.
This is the correct answer because during a helicopter evacuation, the litter or rescue device should not be touched until it has been safely grounded to avoid any risk of the patient being dropped or injured. The vessel should remain as stable as possible during the hoist, so options A, C, and D are incorrect. The vessel should not be maneuvered, booms should not be moved, and the evacuation should not necessarily occur forward of the bridge, as the safest location will depend on the specific situation.
