70% to pass

The required fireman's outfits required for MODU's are not to be used for any other purpose EXCEPT for the _______________.

A lifeline, if used by personnel entering a compartment which might be deficient of oxygen
B boots and gloves that are made of rubber or electrically non-conductive material, if used when repairing electrical equipment
C self-contained breathing apparatus, when used as protection from gas leaking from a refrigeration unit
D oxygen and explosion meter when it is used for detection of flare gases
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) self-contained breathing apparatus, when used as protection from gas leaking from a refrigeration unit. The fireman's outfits required for MODUs (Mobile Offshore Drilling Units) are intended for use in emergency situations, such as responding to gas leaks or other hazardous conditions. The self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is a critical component of the fireman's outfit, as it provides the user with a reliable source of breathable air, which is necessary when entering areas that may be deficient in oxygen or contain hazardous gases, like those that could leak from a refrigeration unit. The other options are incorrect because they describe uses of the fireman's outfit or its components that are not the intended purpose, such as using the boots and gloves for electrical work or the oxygen/explosion meter for gas detection.
