2.12.9.3 CHECKING OF CARGO TO BE LOADED

Despite the hectic operation of loading and discharging rolling stock, the Master should ensure that his/her officers are in control and are carefully checking and monitoring the operation. This should include checking
  • the marks, numbers and road signs on the trucks and trailers
  • the cargo on the trailers, as far as accessible, visible and possible
  • the labels on any dangerous goods being loaded
  • the general impression of the rolling stock being loaded
  • whether the information obtained corresponds with the loading lists.

    Should any irregularities be noted, the Master should not hesitate to interrupt loading pending clarification.
