You are asked: during a routine fire drill, the crew struggle to don breathing apparatus (BA) sets within an acceptable time and one set is found to have a faulty cylinder gauge. What should happen as a result of this drill?

A. Cancel future drills involving BA sets until new equipment is purchased, to avoid further negative findings

B. Record the drill as satisfactorily completed since a drill was carried out, and take no further action

C. Replace the faulty gauge only, and do not record the donning time issue as it might reflect poorly on the crew

D. Record the actual findings honestly (including the time taken and the faulty equipment), arrange for the faulty BA set to be repaired or replaced before it would be needed in a genuine emergency, provide additional training/practice for crew who struggled with donning procedures, and consider whether the findings indicate a wider issue requiring review (e.g. insufficient drill frequency, equipment maintenance gaps)

A. Nothing — a test lift can proceed immediately after repairs

B. Testing should wait until cargo operations begin

C. The area within the grab's swing radius should be cleared of personnel before the lift

D. Only the crane operator needs to be aware the lift is happening

A. Who must remain clear of the exclusion zone while the lift takes place

B. The lunch schedule for the deck team

C. Only the weather forecast for the next watch

D. The cargo manifest for the next port
