🔍 Key Concepts

• Windward vs. leeward side in relation to wind direction on deck • Behavior of flammable/volatile vapors (heavier or lighter than air) and how they disperse • Basic personal safety principles when working around tank openings and fumes

💭 Think About

• From which direction will fresh air come, and where are vapors most likely to accumulate around the tank opening? • If vapors are potentially toxic or explosive, do you want them blowing toward your face or away from you? • How does positioning yourself relative to the wind help you avoid breathing concentrated fumes while still being able to take a sounding or reading?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which side (windward or leeward) is where the wind is coming from, not going to • Consider whether your body should ever be used as a shield against fumes, or if that thinking is unsafe • Think about where vapor concentration will be greater: the side where air first arrives, or the side where air is leaving and can carry vapors with it
