Following a serious marine incident, who can administer use of the device that tests an individual’s breath?

A the marine employer
B qualified medical personnel only
C any USCG credentialed deck officer
D any individual trained to conduct such tests
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) any individual trained to conduct such tests. The Coast Guard regulations state that any individual who has been trained and authorized to use breath testing devices can administer such tests following a serious marine incident. This is not limited to medical personnel or USCG credentialed officers - any trained individual can perform the breath test. The employer is also not the only one who can administer the test, as the regulations require an independent third-party to conduct the testing. The other options are incorrect because they do not fully align with the Coast Guard regulations regarding who can perform breath tests after a marine incident.
