Question 121General Subjects - QMED
70% to passIn terms of the personal safety of an engine room watch standing rating, which alarm response would be the most immediately critical?
AM/E low lube oil pressure alarm
BM/E high coolant temperature alarm
CE/R fixed CO2 impending release alarm
DGeneral emergency alarm
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) E/R fixed CO2 impending release alarm. The E/R fixed CO2 impending release alarm is the most immediately critical alarm response for the personal safety of an engine room watch standing rating. This is because the release of CO2 into the engine room can rapidly displace breathable air, posing an immediate threat to anyone in the space. Proper response to this alarm, such as evacuating the space, is critical to avoiding asphyxiation. The other alarm responses, while important, do not pose the same immediate danger to life safety as the CO2 release alarm.
