• If one person has collapsed in a confined space, what does that suggest about the atmosphere inside the space now? • What is the safest way to perform a rescue without creating more victims inside the tank? • Which option shows knowledge of proper confined space rescue procedures used on ships?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which choices involve entering the tank without respiratory protection after someone has already gone down • Identify which option reflects immediate, practical rescue action rather than delaying for instructions • Check which choice aligns with standard confined space rescue practice: "do not send unprotected rescuers into a potentially hazardous atmosphere."
