Question 367 Deck General
70% to passYour vessel is handling Class 1 explosive material. In accordance with U.S. regulations which of the following is true?
The correct answer is D) repairs that produce spark cannot be carried out in cargo spaces containing Class 1 materials. The reasoning is that Class 1 materials are explosives, and any activities that could potentially create a spark or flame pose a serious risk of ignition and explosion. Regulations strictly prohibit any hot work or spark-producing repairs in cargo spaces containing Class 1 explosives. Option A is incorrect as it refers to firefighting equipment, not repair work restrictions. Options B and C are also incorrect, as the regulations do not allow any repair work that could generate a spark in these cargo spaces, regardless of approval or the type of repair.
