Question 47Safety & Environmental - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is D) All of the above. Petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, and oil, pose several hazards, including asphyxiation, fire, and explosion. These hazards are well-recognized in the handling and storage of such products, as outlined in various regulations and industry standards for the safe management of flammable and hazardous materials. Failure to properly address these hazards can lead to dangerous and potentially life-threatening situations, which is why it is crucial for Coast Guard personnel and others working with petroleum products to be aware of and mitigate these risks.
