Which of the following is not a responsibility of a Consignor?

The responsibility of a Consignor in the context of the Transportation of Dangerous Goods regulations involves several key tasks related to the safe and compliant shipment of hazardous materials. Ensuring the accuracy of shipping information is crucial, as it helps convey essential details about the contents, potential hazards, and handling instructions to all parties involved in the shipping process. Signing the shipping form is also a responsibility, as it serves as a declaration that the information provided is correct and that the Consignor complies with all necessary regulations.

Packaging the contents according to regulations is vital for safety. Proper packaging prevents leaks, spills, and accidents during transport, thereby protecting the carrier and the environment.

However, providing insurance for the shipment is not a responsibility of the Consignor. Insurance is typically arranged by the shipper or the entity responsible for the actual transportation of the goods rather than the party that is sending the goods. Therefore, while insuring a shipment is important for risk management, it is outside the specific regulatory duties assigned to a Consignor under TDG guidelines.
