Your examiner asks: "Beyond each person having a lifejacket, what additional accessibility requirement applies, particularly for watchkeeping personnel?"

A. Lifejackets must be stowed so as to be READILY ACCESSIBLE, with their stowage location plainly indicated — a lifejacket that is technically on board but buried in an inaccessible locker does not satisfy the intent of the requirement. In addition, lifejackets intended for persons on watchkeeping duty should be provided AT the watchkeeping station itself — for example, on the bridge, in the engine room/control room, and at other watch stations — rather than requiring the watchkeeper to leave their post and return to their cabin to collect one in an emergency, which could dangerously delay both their own protection and their ability to respond to the emergency.

B. Lifejacket accessibility has no specific requirement beyond each person owning one somewhere on the ship; there is no obligation to provide lifejackets at watchkeeping stations such as the bridge or engine control room.

C. Watchkeeping personnel are exempt from the lifejacket carriage requirement entirely while on duty, since they are assumed to remain at their post throughout any emergency.

D. Lifejackets may be stowed in a single central locker accessible only by the master, with all crew required to queue for issue during an emergency.

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
