Question 1 of 31093

As Master or person in charge, you must notify the U.S. Coast Guard if an injury leaves a crewman unfit to perform routine duties for more than which of the following time periods?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR casualty reporting requirements for commercial vessels • Definition of a marine casualty vs. a minor injury • Threshold for when an injury must be reported based on time unfit for duty

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: At what point does an injury become serious enough that the Coast Guard wants a formal report, rather than just shipboard treatment? • Think about whether the regulation focuses on immediate notification for any injury, or only when the person cannot perform routine duties for a specific minimum number of hours. • Compare the options: which time period best matches a practical cutoff between a brief rest and a reportable loss of a crew member’s services?

✅ Before You Answer

• Look up the exact wording in 46 CFR Part 4 – Marine Casualties and Investigations, especially the definition of a reportable injury. • Verify how many consecutive hours unfit for duty triggers the requirement to notify the Coast Guard. • Confirm that the threshold refers to being unable to perform routine work duties and not just feeling unwell.
