Question 4514 Deck General

The correct answer is C) remove the clothing and wash. If fuel is spilled on clothing during helicopter refueling operations, the most appropriate action is to immediately remove the contaminated clothing and thoroughly wash the affected area. This is in accordance with standard safety protocols to minimize the risk of skin irritation, rashes, or other potential health hazards associated with prolonged exposure to spilled fuel. The other options are not the correct course of action in this situation. Seeing a medic immediately (A) may be warranted, but only after removing and washing the contaminated clothing. Spraying with foam or CO2 (B) is not the appropriate response for a fuel spill on clothing. Completing the task and then seeing a medic (D) could allow the fuel to remain in contact with the skin for an extended period, which could exacerbate any potential health issues.
