Question 29 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) Bring it inside the liferaft and leave it on. This is the correct answer because the emergency position indicating radio beacon (EPIRB) is your primary means of signaling your distress and location to rescue authorities. Bringing the EPIRB inside the liferaft protects it from the elements and ensures it can continue transmitting your position, which is critical in a storm when visibility and access to the EPIRB may be limited outside the liferaft. The other options are incorrect because leaving the EPIRB outside the liferaft (A and D) risks it becoming damaged or separated from the liferaft, and turning it off (C and D) would prevent it from transmitting your distress signal to rescuers.
