Question 340 Deck General

The correct answer is A) Hazardous materials that require separation must not be handled at the same time. This is correct because the regulations for the carriage of solid hazardous materials in bulk require that materials that are incompatible or require separation must not be handled or loaded at the same time. Proper separation and segregation of hazardous materials is crucial to prevent dangerous interactions or reactions. The other options are incorrect because B) a certificate from ABS is not sufficient evidence of compliance with all applicable regulations, C) the shipping papers cannot substitute for a Dangerous Cargo Manifest, and D) a special permit is not required for loading solid hazardous materials in bulk, as long as the proper procedures and regulations are followed.
