🔍 Key Concepts

• Fireman’s outfit requirements for cargo vessels under SOLAS/46 CFR (components that MUST be included) • Purpose of a flame safety lamp vs a flashlight in fire-fighting and gas‑dangerous spaces • Rules on using explosion‑proof / intrinsically safe electrical equipment in hazardous atmospheres

💭 Think About

• Identify which piece of equipment in a traditional fireman’s outfit is specifically used for lighting in potentially gas‑dangerous spaces. • Ask yourself: modern regulations often allow newer technology to replace older equipment if it provides an equivalent or better level of safety— which option on the list clearly looks like a modern equivalent of an older lighting device? • Consider which of the four choices is the only item that has the same function as the item being replaced, rather than adding a new or duplicate function.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what components a standard fireman’s outfit must contain (helmet, boots, protective clothing, lamp, axe, etc.). • Check which item is intended for portable lighting and may be specified as explosion‑proof or intrinsically safe in regulations. • Confirm that the item you choose has the same primary purpose as the item it is allowed to replace, not a different protective function.
