Deck General USCG Question #3286 (Set 104)

On a MODU, when may a work vest be substituted for a required life preserver?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — At no time

Work vests are designed for continuous comfort during routine deck operations and do not provide the head-support, turning characteristics, or thermal protection of a USCG-approved life preserver. Consequently, work vests may never be substituted for required life preservers.
