🔍 Key Concepts

• Enclosed space / confined space entry procedures on ships • Difference between required safety precautions (what must be done) and optional equipment (what might be used in some cases) • Role of an attendant / standby person during tank entry

💭 Think About

• Think about what the standard safe-entry sequence is for a ballast tank that has been sealed: gas test, ventilate, then what personnel arrangements are required outside the space? • Ask yourself which option describes a normal, general requirement for any safe tank entry, and which options describe either special hazards, incorrect hazards, or over‑specific PPE (personal protective equipment). • Consider why having more than one person physically inside the space can increase risk during an emergency rescue.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which practice is universally recommended in enclosed‑space entry guidance (e.g., ISGOTT, company SMS) for having someone outside the space. • Check whether chlorine gas is actually the typical gas produced by seawater acting on steel, or if other gases are of greater concern in ballast tanks. • Check if regulations say you must always wear a gas mask, or if the protective equipment depends on the results of gas tests and the specific hazards identified.
