What safety precautions should be observed by the crew while working around machinery in an engine room?
• Personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements in machinery spaces • Common engine-room hazards: noise, crushing, slipping, entanglement • Company/USCG focus on eliminating snag hazards and protecting feet and hearing
• Think about all the common risks in an engine room: what parts of the body are most at risk and how? • Which option(s) help prevent injuries from dropped tools/parts, loud machinery, and getting caught in rotating equipment? • Is this question asking for one specific precaution or a general best-practice list? How is that reflected in the choices?
• Check which answers relate to protecting different parts of the body (feet, ears, hands/arms/neck). • Look for any option that combines multiple correct precautions into one choice. • Confirm that removing jewelry reduces risk of entanglement in moving machinery.
