Question 1 of 27070

An immersion suit should be equipped with a/an __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• SOLAS requirements for immersion suits and personal life-saving appliances • Purpose of an immersion suit in an abandon-ship situation (thermal protection vs. breathing device) • Standard signaling and detection features placed on personal survival gear (suits, lifejackets)

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself which items are normally built into or attached to the suit itself, and which are usually separate survival equipment in a liferaft or grab bag. • Consider which combination would best help rescuers see and locate a person in the water, both day and night, without relying on consumables like flares or dye. • Think about what features you always see on lifejackets and how immersion suits often mirror or integrate those same features.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which options include a visual locating aid at night that does not run out after a single use. • Check which features are commonly required to be permanently attached to personal life-saving appliances under SOLAS (e.g., light and reflective material). • Eliminate any options that treat the immersion suit as a breathing apparatus rather than a thermal and visibility aid.
