Where must a lifesaving training manual be provided?

• A. On the bridge
• B. In the cargo hold
• C. In the engine room
• D. In each crew cabin or in the recreation and messrooms

Answer: (D)

Lifesaving training materials should be readily accessible to every crew member so they can study and refresh procedures whenever needed. On a ship, that means keeping the lifesaving training manual in places where crew spend their time and can reach it easily, not locked away in a single restricted area.

Having the manual in each crew cabin or in the recreation and mess rooms ensures universal access, which supports ongoing training, quick reference during drills, and familiarization with lifesaving procedures for all hands. Areas like the bridge, engine room, or cargo holds are where some crew spend their watch time, but not everyone is there at once, so placing the manual only in those spaces would limit accessibility.

Therefore, placing it in each crew cabin or in the recreation and messrooms best meets the requirement.
