70% to passWhat Coast Guard Regulations apply to the equipment of a fireman's outfit?
AThe assembled lifeline shall have a breaking strength of at least 2,500 pounds.
BThe helmet shall provide effective protection against impact.
CThe boots and gloves shall be fire retardant and water resistant.
DAll protective clothing must be electrically nonconducting.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) The helmet shall provide effective protection against impact. The Coast Guard regulations specify that the helmet used as part of a fireman's outfit must be designed to provide effective protection against impact. This is a key safety requirement to protect the firefighter's head from potential injuries while engaged in firefighting activities. The other answer choices are not directly related to the specific equipment requirements for a fireman's outfit. While the lifeline, fire-retardant clothing, and electrical insulation are all important safety considerations, they are not the specific regulations governing the helmet requirements.
