Question 1688 Deck Safety

The correct answer is C) Once each month. The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 46, Section 71.20-20 requires that sanitary inspections of passenger and crew quarters aboard passenger vessels in river service be conducted at least once per calendar month. This regulation ensures that the living spaces are maintained in a clean and sanitary condition for the health and safety of those on board. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the regulatory requirement. Inspections once a day (A) or once a week (B) would be more frequent than the mandated monthly interval, while inspections only once per trip (D) would be less frequent than the regulatory standard.
