What equipment should be used in the event of an electrical problem on board?

In the event of an electrical problem on board, using emergency lighting is essential. Emergency lighting is designed to provide illumination to guide passengers and crew to exits and safe areas, especially when there is a loss of power or an electrical failure. This equipment helps maintain visibility and allow for effective evacuation if necessary, decreasing confusion and ensuring safety during a potentially hazardous situation.

A fire extinguisher is not primarily aimed at resolving electrical problems; instead, it is used to combat fires, which may occur as a result of electrical issues but does not address the initial problem. An axe may be useful for gaining access to areas during an emergency or for cutting away debris but is not specifically suited for an electrical issue. A pry bar might assist in opening compartments or doors, but it does not contribute to resolving electrical problems directly. Therefore, emergency lighting is the most appropriate and effective response in such situations.
