Question 3223 Deck General

The correct answer is A) Personnel may be injured by loose deck gear blown by the wind. When a waterspout passes over a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit), the strong winds associated with the waterspout can pick up and blow around any loose objects or equipment on the deck, posing a serious threat to the safety of personnel. The winds generated by a waterspout can be extremely powerful, making it dangerous for workers to be on the exposed deck during such an event. The other options, while potentially valid concerns in other scenarios, do not directly address the primary danger presented by a waterspout passing over a MODU.
