It involves checking that the shipper has provided required cargo information, consulting the IMSBC Code regarding hazards, inspecting cargo spaces, determining the cargo group, checking relevant certificates and documents, ensuring proper stowage and segregation, reviewing atmospheric conditions, installing monitoring tools, and more. If any steps are answered "NO" then the cargo should not be loaded.
