Question 36 CEL01 - Chief Engineer - Limited

The Correct Answer is A **Explanation of why option A ("Muster list") is correct:** A **Muster list** (often synonymous with a Station Bill in some contexts, but distinct in formal maritime or large industrial settings) is the specific document designed to assign every individual crew member, by **name** and **position**, to a specific emergency duty, including their precise duty station location and immediate responsibilities (e.g., controlling a specific valve, operating a specific pump, deploying a specific life raft). Its primary purpose is accountability and ensuring every person knows exactly where to go and what to do during an emergency (like a fire or abandonment) based on who they are. **Explanation of why the other options are incorrect:** * **B) Fire control plan:** This is a set of general arrangement drawings and diagrams that graphically show the location and details of firefighting equipment (e.g., hydrants, extinguishers, fire alarms) and escape routes. It deals with *equipment and layout*, not specific assignments tied to an individual crew member's name. * **C) Station bill:** While the Station Bill has a very similar function to the Muster List (assigning duties and stations), in standardized emergency planning (especially maritime, where these terms originate), the **Muster List** is the document that often provides the highest level of granularity, listing individuals by **name** alongside their duties. In many operational environments, the terms are used interchangeably, but if the requirement specifically calls for assignments by **name**, "Muster list" is often considered the most precise and definitive option for crew accountability. *However, since A is provided as the correct answer, it implies the specific context considers A as the definitive list tied to names.* * **D) Pre-fire plan:** This is a comprehensive strategic document (or package) that guides the fire department on how to handle an incident at a specific structure. It includes building construction details, hazardous material locations, entry points, and tactical considerations. While it is the overall *package* being referenced, the Pre-fire plan itself does not contain the internal crew assignments (by name) of the facility staff.
