🔍 Key Concepts

• Man overboard (MOB) procedures and how actions are coordinated on board • The difference between preparation and real-time response in emergencies • How different factors (equipment, crew, practice, communication) work together in a rescue

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself which option most directly improves how smoothly and quickly everyone reacts before and during an actual MOB event • Consider which element makes the other options more effective: what has to be in place so that equipment, crew, and communication all work well in an emergency? • Think about what reduces confusion and hesitation the most when someone falls overboard

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice best ensures that everyone already knows their exact role and actions when a MOB occurs • Check which factor is most critical for turning theory and equipment into effective, automatic response • Ask which option would have the biggest impact if all other factors (gear quality, number of crew, radios) stayed the same
