You are on a container vessel. What concerning the handling and stowage of containerized hazardous materials is TRUE?
β’ Portable cargo tanks for cryogenic liquids β what risks do they pose if something goes wrong? β’ Where hazardous materials may be stowed β on deck vs. under deck and the role of ventilation β’ Placarding and hazard classes β what wording is used for toxic gases vs. mild irritants
β’ Think about which option reflects a clear, specific safety control (e.g., preventing dangerous vapor buildup or excessive pressure). β’ Consider whether each statement sounds like a general rule that would apply broadly, or something that is too narrow or oddly worded to be an actual regulation. β’ For the placard option, ask yourself: does tear gas fall under the same category as mild irritants, or is it treated as a more serious hazard class?
β’ For each option, ask: does this align with how cryogenic liquids are normally controlled (pressure, temperature, and ventilation)? β’ Recall that hazardous gases in confined spaces require particular care β which choice best addresses that risk? β’ For placards, verify whether toxic / poisonous gases use wording like "Irritant" or a different hazard description.
