    Explanation
    The statement is true because having fire extinguishing equipment nearby is essential for ensuring the safety of the work area and the people involved in hot work tasks. In case of any fire accidents or emergencies, having the equipment readily available can help to quickly and effectively extinguish the fire, minimizing potential damages and injuries.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the Master, as the highest-ranking officer on a vessel, is responsible for the overall safety and operation of the ship. This includes ensuring that proper safety measures are in place during hot work, which involves tasks such as welding, cutting, or soldering that can pose fire hazards. The Master must ensure that all necessary precautions are taken to prevent accidents, protect the crew and the vessel from potential risks, and comply with relevant regulations and industry standards.

    It is ok to perform hot work on a vessel when a transfer of fuel or lube oil is underway.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Performing hot work on a vessel while a transfer of fuel or lube oil is underway is not okay because it can pose a serious fire hazard. Hot work involves activities such as welding, cutting, or grinding, which generate sparks and heat. These sparks and heat can ignite the fuel or oil vapors in the air, leading to a fire or explosion. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all fuel and oil transfers are completed and the area is properly ventilated before conducting any hot work on a vessel.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    It is ok for personnel to learn how to do hot work on the job.  It is not necessary that they receive basic training prior to involvement in Hot Work.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Personnel should receive basic training prior to involvement in hot work to ensure their safety and the safety of others. Hot work involves tasks such as welding, cutting, and soldering, which can be hazardous if not performed correctly. Basic training helps personnel understand the risks associated with hot work, teaches them proper safety procedures, and familiarizes them with the necessary equipment and precautions. Without this training, personnel may not be aware of the potential dangers or how to mitigate them, increasing the risk of accidents and injuries. Therefore, it is not okay for personnel to learn how to do hot work on the job without receiving basic training first.
