🔍 Key Concepts

• Liftboat operations and stability during jacking up and down • Pre-jacking safety procedures and personnel readiness • Which actions are required before a potentially hazardous evolution, not during/after

💭 Think About

• Which of these actions most directly prepares everyone on board for a potentially dangerous evolution where the vessel’s footing and stability will change? • Think about what could go wrong during jacking operations and which step would most immediately reduce risk to human life if something did go wrong. • Which option is a standard precaution taken before many drills, abandon-ship situations, or high‑risk operations at sea?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is clearly linked to personnel safety in an emergency. • Ask whether the action is something done routinely at all times, or specifically heightened before hazardous evolutions. • Consider which option is emphasized in emergency procedures and drills on most vessels.
