As a chief engineer you are reviewing the engine room log book. You must insure that all entries are made properly. What should be your criteria for how a watch officer makes a correction to an incorrect log entry? |
A) The incorrect entry should be completely obliterated and the new correct entry made just below the obliterated incorrect entry. |
B) The new correct entry should be written directly on top of the old incorrect entry making every effort to cleverly disguise the incorrect entry. |
C) The incorrect entry is to be completely erased and the new correct entry written on top of the erasure so no evidence remains of the incorrect entry. |
D) The incorrect entry should have a thin line drawn through the error and be initialed by the person making the correction so that the incorrect entry is still visible. |
