Q

You are tending the lifeline of a man who entered a tank using a breathing apparatus. How many tugs on the lifeline indicate that the man should come out immediately?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Confined space entry safety procedures • Standard lifeline signaling codes between attendant and entrant • Meaning of an emergency / distress signal versus routine status checks

💭 Think About

• Think about which signal pattern would clearly stand out as an EMERGENCY compared to normal check‑in signals. • Consider how many tugs would likely be used for a simple status question like 'Are you okay?' versus a command like 'Come out now.' • Ask yourself: in an emergency, do you want a short, easily confused signal or a very distinctive pattern?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the typical assignments for 1 tug and 2 tugs in standard lifeline communication tables. • Confirm which pattern is usually reserved for "Pay out more line" or "I am OK" to avoid mixing it up with the emergency signal. • Make sure the choice you pick would be the least likely to be confused with routine communication.
