70% to pass

On offshore drilling units, the number of industrial personnel permitted to be on board during drilling operations is found on the _______________.

A U.S. Coast Guard Certificate of Inspection
B Classification Certificate
C Owner's Operation Manual
D Safety of Life at Sea Certificate
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) U.S. Coast Guard Certificate of Inspection. The U.S. Coast Guard Certificate of Inspection (COI) specifies the maximum number of persons, both crew and industrial personnel, that are permitted to be on board the offshore drilling unit during drilling operations. The COI is the official document that outlines the operational and safety requirements for the vessel, including the personnel capacity. The other options are incorrect because: B) The classification certificate does not specify personnel limits, C) The owner's operation manual does not have the legal authority of the COI, and D) The Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) certificate applies to international maritime vessels, not domestic offshore drilling units.
