Question 1433 Deck General

The correct answer is A) safe for hot-work. Before welding or any hot-work is permitted on a fuel tank, the tank must be certified or declared as safe for hot-work. This is a critical safety requirement to prevent the risk of fire or explosion, as fuel tanks contain flammable vapors. The tank must undergo proper cleaning, purging, and testing to ensure there are no explosive atmospheres present before hot-work can be safely conducted. The other options are incorrect because B) and C) indicate the tank is not safe for hot-work, and D) safe for personnel does not necessarily mean the tank is safe for hot-work, which has more stringent safety requirements.
