USCG Exam Practice · Chemical testing after a marine casualty
When a credentialed mariner fails a required chemical test for dangerous drugs, who must the employer notify in writing?
- AThe National Maritime Center (NMC) in Martinsburg, WV
- BThe nearest Coast Guard Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection (OCMI)✓ correct
- CThe Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)
- DThe Medical Review Officer (MRO) assigned to the testing program
Why B is correct
46 CFR §16.201(c) requires the employer, prospective employer, or sponsoring organization to report the test results in writing to the nearest Coast Guard Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection (OCMI). The MRO is involved in the testing process itself, not the regulatory reporting requirement.
