Question 2734 Deck General

The correct answer is D) no later than 7 days after the injury occurred. This is the correct answer because under U.S. Coast Guard regulations, every seaman injured on a fishing vessel must report the injury to the master, individual in charge, or other agent of the employer no later than 7 days after the injury occurred. This requirement is outlined in 46 CFR 4.05-10, which states that "each incident involving injury" must be reported within 7 days. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the reporting timeline specified in the regulations. Reporting the injury only if it prevents the seaman from working (A), or within 24 hours of the vessel docking (B), or before the end of the voyage (C) are not the correct time frames as per the Coast Guard requirements.
