In handling break bulk hazardous materials, it is forbidden to use _______________.

AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) metal bale hooks. The use of metal bale hooks is forbidden when handling break bulk hazardous materials due to the risk of puncturing or damaging the containers, which could lead to leaks or spills of the hazardous substances. Regulations require the use of safer handling methods, such as pallets, cargo nets, or slings, to avoid compromising the integrity of the hazardous material packages. The other options (A, B, and C) are permitted for handling break bulk hazardous materials, as they do not pose the same risks as metal bale hooks.
