Human Factors; Procedure
We were handed a cargo load report that listed 50 standard and 7 heavy bags; all in the forward cargo compartment. As the ramp agent handed me the cargo load report; I asked him if all bags were below the fire suppression line. He replied; 'yes.' When we arrived; the First Officer noted during his post flight inspection that the bags were well above the fire suppression line.
Captain reported ramp loaders placing cargo and bags above the height for proper fire suppression in the cargo hold.
