Question 215Safety & Environmental - Assistant Engineer
70% to passThe external flotation bladder on an immersion suit should be inflated _______________.
Abefore you enter the water
Bafter you enter the water
Cafter one hour in the water
Dafter you notice that your suit is losing buoyancy
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) after you enter the water. The external flotation bladder on an immersion suit should be inflated after you enter the water to provide additional buoyancy and help keep you afloat. Inflating the bladder before entering the water could make it difficult to get into the suit, and inflating it too early could cause the bladder to become damaged or punctured. Waiting until after you're in the water ensures the bladder can effectively provide the needed flotation. The other options are incorrect because they either don't align with the proper procedure (A and C) or don't account for the purpose of the flotation bladder (D).
