Question 1968 Deck General

The correct answer is A) Any tools, paint pots etc. should be secured by lanyards. This is correct because when using a bosun's chair, it is critical to ensure that any loose items are securely attached to prevent them from falling and potentially injuring personnel below. Lanyards are the proper method to secure tools, paint pots, and other equipment to the chair to maintain a safe work environment. The other options are incorrect. Option B is incorrect because the specific number of turns on the winch drum is not as important as ensuring the chair is properly secured. Option C is incorrect because the orientation of the shackle on the bridle is not a critical safety factor. Option D is incorrect because a bowline is not the only acceptable method to secure the gantline to the chair.
