On offshore drilling units, a fire drill must be conducted at least once a _______________.

A year
B week
C month
D quarter
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) week. According to the regulations of the US Coast Guard, on offshore drilling units, a fire drill must be conducted at least once a week. This requirement is in place to ensure the crew is well-trained and prepared to respond effectively in the event of a fire emergency on the offshore drilling platform. The frequent fire drills help maintain a high level of readiness and familiarize the crew with the proper procedures and equipment. The other answer choices are incorrect because conducting fire drills only once a year, month, or quarter would not provide the necessary level of preparedness and training for the crew on an offshore drilling unit, where the risk of fire is relatively high.
