Contaminated Cargo or Baggage

If any cargo or baggage has been contaminated or is suspected of contamination from a dangerous good, the operator staff must take reasonable steps to identify the nature and source of the contamination before proceeding with the loading of the contaminated cargo or baggage. If dangerous goods contamination has been confirmed, the operator must isolate the cargo or baggage and take the appropriate steps to nullify any identified hazard.
