Question 60 GLI03 - Master-LT 500-1600 GRT

The Correct Answer is C **Explanation for C (Flame safety lamp):** The requirement for the "fireman's outfit" is stipulated by SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) regulations, specifically the FSS Code (Fire Safety Systems Code), Chapter 3, regarding personal equipment. The regulations require an intrinsically safe electric safety lamp (hand lantern) to be provided with the outfit. An older requirement allowed for a **flame safety lamp** to be carried, but modern regulations universally require an **electric safety lamp** (often referred to as an intrinsically safe flashlight or hand lantern). Therefore, the modern, required item (electric safety lamp) **may be substituted for** (or has replaced) the older, now generally unacceptable item (flame safety lamp) in the required outfit specification. **Why the other options are incorrect:** **A) Flashlight:** This is incorrect because an intrinsically safe electric safety lamp (often called a flashlight or hand lantern) is a mandatory, required component of the fireman's outfit and cannot be substituted for by another item; it is the item that substitutes for the obsolete flame safety lamp. **B) Fire ax:** This is incorrect because the fire ax is a specific, mandatory piece of equipment required to be carried with the fireman's outfit (or readily accessible), as per SOLAS regulations. It cannot be substituted for another item. **D) Rigid helmet:** This is incorrect because a protective rigid helmet is a mandatory item of personal protection required to be worn as part of the fireman's outfit. It cannot be substituted for or removed.
