Q

Each hand portable fire extinguisher on a MODU must be marked with __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for fire protection on MODUs (Mobile Offshore Drilling Units) • Purpose of identifying and tracking safety equipment like portable extinguishers • Difference between marking the location/unit vs. marking each extinguisher as a unique item

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In an emergency inspection or after a fire, what kind of marking would help the safety officer track maintenance, testing, or missing equipment most effectively? • Consider which option would be most useful for recordkeeping and maintenance logs that list each extinguisher on board. • Which markings in the choices are already handled by other required documents (like vessel name, personnel training records, or installation dates) rather than by the extinguisher label itself?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR (MODU fire protection section) what is required for identifying each extinguisher. • Check which option would allow you to tell one specific extinguisher from all the others during inspections or after an incident. • Confirm whether crew qualifications, installation dates, or unit name are normally recorded on the equipment or instead in separate documentation/records.
