🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for handling and sampling dangerous liquids on tank vessels • Purpose of personal protective equipment (PPE) when working around hazardous cargo vapors and liquids • Which body part is at greatest risk of direct contact when actually drawing a sample from a cargo line or tank

💭 Think About

• When you physically take a liquid sample from a tank or line, what part of your body is most likely to come closest to the product? • Think about which option would most directly prevent skin contact with a hazardous liquid splash during the act of sampling. • Which listed item would still be essential protection even if you were working in shorts and a T‑shirt?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice directly protects against liquid chemical contact with skin rather than only falling objects or general hazards. • Ask: if the cargo splashes out of the sampler, which single item from the list would you most regret not wearing? • Verify which PPE item is specifically emphasized in tankship hazardous cargo handling/sampling procedures as the minimum requirement.
