Question 4520 Deck General

The correct answer is B) Never. Personnel nets are designed to transfer personnel, not heavy equipment, aboard offshore drilling units. Using a personnel net to bring heavy equipment aboard would be extremely dangerous and is not permitted under Coast Guard regulations. The net is only intended for the safe transfer of personnel, not cargo or equipment. The other answer choices are incorrect because the regulations do not allow for the use of a personnel net to transfer heavy equipment in any circumstances, regardless of weather conditions or the presence of personnel in the net.
