A tank vessel transferring non-flammable hazardous cargo in bulk must display warning signs. These signs must __________.
• 46 CFR regulations on tank vessel cargo transfer warning signs for non-flammable hazardous materials in bulk • Differences between requirements for flammable/combustible liquids and non-flammable hazardous cargoes • General intent of warning signs: protect against ignition sources, personnel access, and situational awareness
• Ask which option sounds like a very specific visual-placement requirement, and which sound more like content or design details that might change with the type of cargo • Consider whether the rule for non-flammable hazardous cargo would be identical to that for flammable cargo, or if visibility around the vessel might be emphasized differently • Think about what someone in a small boat or on the pier needs to be able to see to realize a dangerous transfer is happening
• Check in 46 CFR Part 35 or related parts for the exact wording on where the signs must be visible from • Verify whether the phrase "NO SMOKING" is tied specifically to flammable/combustible products versus all hazardous cargo transfers • Confirm if the regulation specifies any particular color scheme or if it focuses more on size and visibility of the signs
