Sleeping areas should be placed in relation to latrines and flight line noise. Which statement is correct?

• A. Placed on the flight line.
• B. Located at least 100 feet upwind from latrines, and away from flight line noise.
• C. Located within 100 feet of latrines.
• D. 300 feet downstream of the food facility.

Answer: (B)

To protect sleep quality, you place sleeping areas so they’re not exposed to odors from latrines and aren’t bothered by loud flight-line activity. Locating sleeping areas at least 100 feet upwind from latrines means the airflow carries odors away from where people sleep, since odors travel with the wind. Being away from flight line noise further reduces sleep disturbance, helping personnel rest better and perform more safely. The other options place sleep areas too close to odor sources or noise, or in directions that don’t minimize exposure, which would compromise comfort and health.
