Deviation / Discrepancy - Procedural Hazardous Material Violation
General Maintenance Action
Human Factors; Procedure
The dangerous goods agent presented an explosives box that was damaged and we had the box removed. The First Officer inspected it first. While inspecting it the DG agent pointed out that the box was crushed and that it did not look good. They informed me and we all agreed to have it removed. It looked like whoever strapped it down had crushed it. The person who strapped down this DG box strapped it down too tight and damaged the box.
B757 Captain reported a damaged Hazmat explosive box refused as cargo.
