On offshore drilling units, the minimum number of persons required to be trained in the use of fireman's outfits is _______________.

A 1
B 2
C 3
D 4
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 2. The reason is that under the regulations for offshore drilling units, there must be a minimum of 2 persons trained in the use of fireman's outfits. This requirement is specified in 46 CFR 109.213, which states that "at least 2 persons" on an offshore drilling unit must be trained and equipped to use the fireman's outfits. The other answer choices are incorrect because 1 person is not enough, 3 persons exceeds the minimum requirement, and 4 persons is also more than the minimum.
