Question 775 Deck General

The correct answer is C) a face mask or goggles. When sampling hazardous cargo on a tankship, protective clothing must include at minimum a face mask or goggles. This is required to protect the eyes and respiratory system from exposure to any hazardous vapors or substances that may be present. While chemical resistant gloves (A), boots (B), and a hood or hard hat (D) are also important safety equipment, a face mask or goggles are the critical minimum personal protective equipment needed when handling hazardous materials on a tankship.
