What is the maximum boiler horsepower you may take charge of on a chief engineer license?

100 horsepower
Unlimited horsepower
500 horsepower
150 horsepower

The correct answer is: Unlimited horsepower

The correct answer reflects the extent of authority granted by a chief engineer license, which typically allows the individual to take charge of a boiler of unlimited horsepower. This means that the holder of a chief engineer license is qualified to manage and operate any boiler regardless of its size or power output, assuming they have the necessary training and experience. In most regulatory frameworks surrounding boiler operation, such licenses are designed to ensure that appropriately trained individuals oversee high-capacity boilers, mitigating potential safety risks. A chief engineer's responsibilities include not just operating the boiler but also ensuring compliance with safety codes, performing maintenance, and supervising other staff members. The other choices indicate specific maximum horsepower limits which do not align with the privileges of a chief engineer license. These limitations apply to lower-tier licenses and are meant for operators who may not possess the advanced expertise required for the safe handling of larger, more powerful systems.
