Personnel servicing refrigeration systems and subject to the exposure to commonly used refrigerants should wear what type of personal protective equipment?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — goggles and gloves

Liquid refrigerants rapidly boil upon atmospheric exposure, causing severe cryogenic frostbite upon skin contact. Approved chemical splash goggles and heavy-duty insulated gloves protect marine engineers against accidental liquid spray during servicing or gauge manifold operations.
