70% to pass

The inspection of portable extinguishers on a MODU must be _______________.

A accomplished by an authorized servicing representative
B recorded by the person in charge
C completed every six months
D All of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) recorded by the person in charge. The inspection of portable extinguishers on a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) must be recorded by the person in charge, as per the Coast Guard regulations. This ensures proper documentation and accountability for the safety-critical task of inspecting the extinguishers. The other options are incorrect because: A) the inspection does not necessarily need to be accomplished by an authorized servicing representative, as the person in charge can perform the inspection; C) the inspection frequency is not specified as every six months, but rather as per the Coast Guard regulations; and D) not all the listed elements are required, only the recording by the person in charge.
