Question 1 of 27070

On offshore drilling units, notification shall be given to the Coast Guard of a casualty if a person is injured and unable to perform routine duties for __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Offshore drilling units casualty reporting requirements in 33 CFR or 46 CFR Part 4 • Definition of a disabling injury (unable to perform routine work) and when it becomes reportable • The specific time threshold in hours used by the Coast Guard for reportable injuries

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Does the Coast Guard require notification for every minor injury, or only when it passes a certain severity/time threshold? • Compare the answer choices to the definition of a reportable/disabling injury in the casualty-reporting regulations—what number of hours is tied to being unable to perform routine duties? • Think about how long someone must be unable to work before it is considered a serious enough incident for formal Coast Guard notification.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the definition of a reportable or disabling injury for offshore units in the CFR (Title 33 or 46), paying close attention to the hours of incapacity. • Confirm that the time period is measured as "unable to perform routine duties for more than ___ hours" – not just any injury or any time off. • Make sure you are not confusing this with other time limits (such as reporting within 24 hours) and focus only on the duration of incapacity.
