Which activity is NOT listed as a Specific Shipper Responsibility?

• A. Calibration of scales
• B. Acceptance
• C. Storage
• D. Training

Answer: (A)

Specific Shipper Responsibilities cover the duties the shipper must perform to ensure shipments are prepared, documented, and handled safely for transport. Acceptance means the shipper checks that the shipment meets all requirements before it is accepted for transport. Storage refers to controlling and protecting the goods at the shipper’s premises to prevent damage or mis-handling. Training ensures personnel involved in preparing and handling the shipments have the appropriate knowledge and competence. Calibration of scales, while important for accurate weight measurement and record-keeping, is not listed as a Specific Shipper Responsibility. It’s a general operational task rather than a defined duty of the shipper in this context.
