This flight will have to be delayed until they can get 15 bags to secure the HAZMAT. The Ops Manager has requested that maybe we could use ballast to secure. I told them that I prefer bags. There is always a problem with this type of flight situation when there are no bags around to secure HAZMAT. I know we must follow the 15 bags policy; but what happens when the flight has to be there and there are no bags. Do we have a plan for this. I will not take any suggests from the floor (as I am hearing different suggestions on what can be done or to do). However I would like to come up with a solution that will help everyone in this situation and be consistent about it.
Load Planner reported compliance inconsistency between company policy and HAZMAT requirements.
