Question 3798 Deck General

The correct answer is A) week. According to the regulations governing Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODUs), a fire drill must be conducted once every week on these vessels. This requirement is specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 33, Section 146.130(b), which states that "the owner or operator of a MODU shall ensure that a fire drill is conducted on the MODU at least once each week." The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the regulatory requirement. Fire drills are not required to be conducted on a monthly basis (B), nor are they tied to crew changes (C). Option D, "other week," is also incorrect as the regulations specify that the drills must be conducted weekly.
