🔍 Key Concepts

• Shipboard safety in heavy weather procedures • How unsecured gear and equipment behave in rough seas • Difference between preventive measures and actions that could increase risk

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to objects and people on board when the ship starts pitching and rolling heavily. • Which option focuses on preventing injuries and damage before the rough seas are actually encountered? • Which actions would make it harder, not easier, to keep balance and stability in heavy seas?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice clearly reduces the chance of falls, injuries, or damage when the vessel starts rolling. • Eliminate any options that would make the vessel’s stability or crew safety worse in rough conditions. • Check which option is a standard heavy-weather preparation step in most shipboard safety manuals.
