Question 3531 Deck General

The correct answer is B) Never. The use of personnel nets to bring heavy equipment aboard an offshore drilling unit is not permitted, as it poses a significant safety risk to personnel. Personnel nets are intended solely for the transfer of personnel, not for the movement of heavy equipment. Using a personnel net in this manner would violate safety regulations and best practices for offshore operations, as the net is not designed to safely support the weight and potential hazards associated with heavy equipment. The other options are incorrect because they either suggest limited use (A and C) or introduce additional safety concerns (D) that are not in line with the established protocols for the use of personnel nets.
