70% to passWhen required to work in an area where explosive gases may accumulate, you should use tools which are _______________.
Aapproved by the Coast Guard
Bhigh carbon steel
Cfixed with a ferrous cover
Dnon-sparking
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) non-sparking. When working in an area where explosive gases may accumulate, it is crucial to use non-sparking tools to prevent the ignition of the gases. Non-sparking tools are specifically designed to minimize the risk of creating sparks, which could potentially ignite the explosive gases and cause a dangerous situation. This requirement is based on safety regulations and best practices for working in hazardous environments. The other options are incorrect because: A) the Coast Guard does not specifically approve tools for use in explosive gas environments, B) high carbon steel tools can still create sparks, and C) a ferrous cover does not necessarily make a tool non-sparking.
