🔍 Key Concepts

• Portable work lights (droplights) safety practices on board • Protection from broken glass, heat, and electrical shock • General shipboard electrical safety requirements

💭 Think About

• Which option (or options) directly reduce the risk of burns, broken bulbs, or electrical shock when the light is dropped or bumped? • Does the color of an extension cord matter for safety as much as how it is constructed, grounded, and protected? • Think about which requirement would most likely appear in a safety manual or regulation for temporary lighting in confined or machinery spaces.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice is directly related to physical protection of the bulb and crew if the light is dropped • Consider whether there is a standard rule that limits wattage to an exact number like 75 watts for all droplights, or if that might depend on the fixture • Ask yourself if “all of the above” can be correct when one or more items sound more like good ideas rather than formal safety requirements
