Question 3726 Deck General

70% to pass

An offshore drilling unit must be equipped with a first aid kit approved by the _______________.

A Mine Safety and Health Administration
B American Bureau of Shipping
C Minerals Management Service
D Coast Guard
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Mine Safety and Health Administration. Offshore drilling units are regulated by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) for the safety and health of workers on these types of facilities. MSHA requires that offshore drilling units be equipped with a first aid kit that meets their approval and standards, in order to ensure the proper medical equipment and supplies are available in case of an emergency. The other options are incorrect because the American Bureau of Shipping (B) and the Minerals Management Service (C) do not have the authority to approve first aid kits for offshore drilling units. The Coast Guard (D) oversees maritime safety, but the first aid kit requirement falls under MSHA's jurisdiction for this type of offshore facility.
