Question 1

Under Workboat Code Edition 3, when a Workboat Certificate holder sells their vessel, the certificate remains valid until its printed expiry date, transferring with the sale.

Accepted Answer

False False. Every certificate type in Appendix 10 carries the same condition: the certificate is automatically cancelled the moment the vessel is sold, and must be returned to the Certifying Authority office — regardless of how much time remains before the printed expiry date.

Question 2

You're asked to test a deck crane grab after electrical repairs nearby. As the grab is hoisted, what should have happened first?

Accepted Answer

The area within the grab's swing radius should be cleared of personnel before the lift On the bulk carrier Fairfield Eagle, a crew member working nearby was struck and fatally injured when a grab being test-lifted after repairs swung unexpectedly. The investigation found the area should have been cleared and barriered before the test lift began.

Question 3

A toolbox talk held before a lifting operation should explicitly cover which of the following?

Accepted Answer

Who must remain clear of the exclusion zone while the lift takes place A toolbox talk exists to make sure everyone present understands the danger zones, the abort signal, and — critically — who must not be in the area while the lift happens. The RMIMA investigation into the Fairfield Eagle fatality found the toolbox talk had not made this clear.
