Question 744 Deck Safety

The correct answer is D) All of the above. Before entering the chain locker, you should make sure there is sufficient air within the locker, de-energize the windlass, and have someone standing by. This is because the chain locker can be a confined space with the potential for hazardous atmospheres, moving machinery, and limited access/egress, all of which pose significant safety risks. Following these precautions helps ensure the safety of the personnel entering the locker. The other options, while potentially important, do not address all the necessary safety considerations for entering a chain locker. Options A and C are required, while option B is also crucial to prevent accidental activation of the windlass, which could lead to serious injury.
