Human Factors
During the Hazmat [preflight] inspection I discovered a flammable liquid box that was crushed on the bottom of the stack. There were no fumes or spillage; but the box had 'do not stack' on the side and we determined it was not safe to transport in its condition after having a discussion with DG personnel. It was removed and we continued the flight after a 35 min delay. Cause - Improper loading of hazardous cargo.Suggestions - Properly load cargo. Pay attention to hazardous goods documentation.
B767-300 First Officer reported a Hazmat loading configuration error during preflight. The Hazmat box was crushed on the bottom of the stack even though the box was labeled 'Do Not Stack'.
