You are wearing a breathing apparatus inside a tank. How many tugs on the lifeline indicate that you are all right?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Standard lifeline signal codes used for tank/entry work and rescue teams • Difference between signals sent from the worker to the attendant vs. from the attendant to the worker • Why a simple, easily remembered pattern is used to signal "I am OK"

💭 Think About

• Think about which signal would be used most often during normal work to confirm status, and therefore must be simple and unmistakable. • Consider which patterns (number of tugs) are usually reserved for trouble, help, or emergency—those are less likely to be the "I am all right" signal. • Recall standard confined-space lifeline communication charts: which tug pattern is associated with "Are you OK?" and which is the reply?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in your study materials the standard tug code for tank/entry operations (not diving signals, but confined space lifeline signals). • Check which tug count is assigned to "Help" or "Emergency – haul me up" and eliminate that from consideration. • Make sure you distinguish between question signals (from outside watch to you) and response signals (from you to the outside watch).
