Regulations require that all safety and survival equipment be ___.

Gear must be ready for immediate use and guaranteed to work. The idea is that in an emergency you can grab what you need without delays and trust that it will function as intended. Readily available means the equipment isn’t locked away or stored in a hard-to-reach place; it should be placed where crew can access it quickly and easily. Good serviceable condition means it has been inspected, maintained, and is within its usable life, with no damage or missing parts, and it passes any required checks. Regular maintenance and checks ensure reliability when it matters most, reducing response time and increasing survival chances. Storing everything below deck would slow you down when you need gear fast. Merely being visible from a distance doesn’t guarantee access or operability. Being used only in drills would leave you unprepared during a real emergency.
