Question 465 Deck General

The correct answer is A) Coast Guard approved buoyant work vests should not be stowed where they could be confused with life jackets in an emergency. This is correct because Coast Guard regulations require that buoyant work vests be stowed in a clearly marked location separate from life jackets. This is to prevent confusion during an emergency, where life jackets need to be readily accessible. The other options are incorrect because buoyant work vests cannot be used as a substitute for life jackets, and they should not be stowed in engineering spaces in place of life jackets, as they do not provide the same level of safety and flotation.
