Where should the retainer bar be placed?

• A. Securely against the upper portion of the last wall
• B. At the bottom of the last wall
• C. In the middle of the last wall
• D. Inside the HazMat pouch

Answer: (A)

Place the retainer bar securely against the upper portion of the last wall. This position uses the closing force of the container to press contents downward and toward the back, preventing movement that could occur during handling or transit. Placing it at the bottom or in the middle won’t counteract shifting as effectively, and putting the bar inside a HazMat pouch would hide or misplace the hardware and could interfere with proper securing.
