Which role directs rescue operations in conjunction with the GFE?

• A. GFEA
• B. CO
• C. Safety Officer
• D. Attendant

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that rescue operations in a hazardous atmosphere are led jointly by the Gas Free Engineer (GFE) and their assistant. The GFE focuses on establishing and maintaining a gas-free environment and managing entry conditions, while the Gas Free Engineer Assistant directs the on-scene rescue team, communicates gas readings, and ensures entry procedures and safety checks are followed. This pairing allows rescue efforts to proceed quickly and safely under the GFE’s custody of the atmosphere. The CO provides overall ship command but isn’t the on-scene rescue leader; the Safety Officer monitors safety compliance rather than directing the rescue; an Attendant assists and observes but does not steer the operation.
