Question 3732 Deck General

70% to pass

On a MODU, size I and II extinguishers are considered _______________.

A steam generated
B fixed systems
C hand portable
D semi-portable
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) hand portable. On a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit), size I and II fire extinguishers are considered hand portable. This is because these extinguishers are designed to be easily carried and operated by a single person, as per the fire safety regulations for MODUs. The other options are incorrect because: A) steam generated extinguishers are not the same as hand portable extinguishers, B) fixed systems are permanently installed fire suppression systems, and D) semi-portable extinguishers are larger and require more than one person to operate, unlike the hand portable size I and II extinguishers.
