Question 3580 Deck General

The correct answer is C) goggles. When loading or discharging dry materials like mud or cement, crew members should use facial respirator masks to protect their respiratory system, as well as goggles to protect their eyes from dust and particulates. Goggles are required to prevent eye irritation and damage from the fine airborne particles generated during these operations. The other answer choices are incorrect. Soft-soled boots (A) are not specifically required for this task, ear plugs (B) would not provide the necessary protection, and a fireman's outfit (D) would be excessive and inappropriate for this type of cargo handling.
