If the hazardous materials are classified as *FORBIDDEN*, what action should you take?

  1. Accept the load

  2. Refuse the load

  3. Contact the shipper

  4. Prepare for transport

The correct answer is: Refuse the load

When hazardous materials are classified as *FORBIDDEN*, the appropriate action is to refuse the load. This classification indicates that the material is banned from transport due to being too dangerous or unsuitable for shipment under any circumstances. Accepting such a load could lead to severe legal consequences, risk to public safety, or environmental harm. Refusing the load ensures compliance with safety regulations and protects both the driver and the environment from potential hazards associated with these materials. It's essential for drivers and transportation professionals to be familiar with the classification system to avoid handling materials that could endanger themselves or others during transit.
