Question 46Deck Safety70% to pass
You are aboard a liferaft in a storm. What should you do with your Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Bring it inside the liferaft and leave it on.
The reasoning is that an Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) is a critical piece of safety equipment that should be kept with you in the liferaft. Leaving it outside the raft risks it getting lost or damaged in the storm. Bringing it inside and leaving it on ensures it can transmit your location to rescue services, which is its primary function in a liferaft emergency. The other options, such as turning it off or leaving it outside, would defeat the purpose of having the EPIRB and reduce your chances of being located and rescued.
