      Ship’s Bosun is generally asked to inspect portable electrical equipment.

    Correct Answer
    D. Ship’s Bosun is generally asked to inspect portable electrical equipment.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Ship’s Bosun is generally asked to inspect portable electrical equipment." This statement is not correct because the inspection of portable electrical equipment is usually carried out by a qualified electrician or a designated competent person, not the ship's Bosun. The Bosun's responsibilities typically include maintenance and repair of the ship's equipment and supervising the deck crew.

    The equipments that maintain a small internal overpressure (of the order of 0.5 mbar minimum) which prevents the entry of a gas/air explosive mixture or flammable substance are known as:

    • A.

      Ex-d

    • B.

      EX-i

    • C.

      EX-p

    Correct Answer
    C. EX-p
    Explanation
    EX-p refers to equipment that is designed to maintain a small internal overpressure, which prevents the entry of a gas/air explosive mixture or flammable substance. This means that the equipment is specifically designed to prevent the occurrence of explosions or fires by keeping the internal pressure higher than the external environment. This ensures that any potential explosive or flammable substances are contained within the equipment and do not pose a risk to the surrounding area.

    .A good way to make yourself  less conductive while working on Live panel is

    • A.

      Standing on metal deck or near metal structure.

    • B.

      Wet deck.

    • C.

      Perspiration.

    • D.

      A,B & C

    Correct Answer
    D. A,B & C
    Explanation
    Standing on a metal deck or near a metal structure can make a person less conductive while working on a live panel. This is because metal is a good conductor of electricity, so standing on or near it can help to dissipate any electrical charge and reduce the risk of electric shock. Wet deck and perspiration can also help to make a person less conductive as moisture can provide a path for the electrical current to flow through, rather than through the person's body. Therefore, options A, B, and C are all correct ways to make oneself less conductive while working on a live panel.

    • A.

      Work bare foot

    • B.

      Stand on one foot

    • C.

      Wear safety shoes

    • D.

      Wear safety shoes and use company approved rubber mat

    Correct Answer
    D. Wear safety shoes and use company approved rubber mat
    Explanation
    To make yourself less conductive while working on a live panel, it is important to wear safety shoes and use a company-approved rubber mat. Safety shoes are designed to provide insulation and protect against electrical shocks. The rubber mat acts as an additional layer of insulation, reducing the risk of electrical conductivity. By combining these two safety measures, you can minimize the chances of electrical accidents and ensure a safer working environment.
