Question 938Deck Safety70% to pass
You are tending the lifeline of a person who has entered a compartment wearing a breathing apparatus. How many tugs of the lifeline mean "Are you all right"?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) One tug on the lifeline.
The U.S. Coast Guard regulations state that one tug on the lifeline indicates "Are you all right?". This is a standard communication method used when a person is working in a confined or hazardous space while tethered to a lifeline. The person on the other end of the lifeline can signal their status with a specific number of tugs.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the established Coast Guard standard for this communication signal. Two, three, or four tugs would have different meanings, such as "Hoist me up" or "Trouble, pull me out".
