Which document would you consult for casualty response procedures (non-master)?

• A. Casualty Response Procedure
• B. Master Casualty Response Procedure
• C. Emergency Procedure
• D. Tank Status Chart for Fuel Oil

Answer: (A)

Casualty response procedures provide the crew with the exact steps to take when a casualty occurs, at the level of responsibility of non-master. It offers the actionable sequence you would follow: respond to the alarm, report to your assigned duty, muster the crew as needed, take initial actions to contain the damage, isolate affected systems, secure power or flooding points, and coordinate with the damage control center for further actions. This document is written for day-to-day crew actions and ensures consistent, trained responses across the team.

The master casualty response procedure is a higher-level reference intended for command decisions and direction from the ship’s master, so it isn’t the guide a non-master crew member would typically consult. An emergency procedure tends to be broader and less specific to casualty scenarios, while a tank status chart for fuel oil is unrelated to casualty action steps.
