Failure to properly locate shipping papers could adversely impact the response to an accident, result in actions that spread radioactive contamination, and result in unnecessary radiation exposures to the responders. When the driver is not at the vehicle controls, such as during deliveries to customers, the shipping papers for the packages remaining in the vehicle must be either in the pocket in the driver's side door or on the driver's seat in the vehicle. This does not include accident situations. The key test for evaluating the effectiveness of blocking and bracing is to attempt to move the package by hand after it is loaded. The use of a non-skid material on the vehicle surface where the package is loaded is not sufficient by itself.
Additional means are necessary to block the package within the vehicle.
