🔍 Key Concepts

• Readily accessible life preservers / PFDs and what that means in practice • Whether regulations require more than one life preserver per person • Pay attention to limiting words like "only" and how they can make a statement false

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Does any regulation actually say a life preserver must be kept only at a workstation or only in a berthing area? • Think about how many life preservers per person are required: is it one per person or one in each location where that person might be? • If none of the listed storage patterns exactly match the regulatory language for "readily accessible to the person," what would that imply about the answer choices?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check if the rules ever require a life preserver at both work and berthing for each person, or just that one is readily accessible somewhere appropriate. • Verify whether the use of the word "only" in options A and B could conflict with the idea of having life preservers in other accessible locations. • Confirm from your memory of the regs whether the requirement is about location specificity (work vs. berthing) or about overall accessibility and quantity (one per person, properly stowed).
