The correct answer is: Before transporting hazardous materials

A cargo tank should be inspected before transporting hazardous materials to ensure it is in good condition and safe for carrying potentially dangerous substances. This inspection is crucial for identifying any signs of damage, leaks, or structural issues that could pose a risk during transit. The inspection process typically includes checking for proper closure of valves and fittings, ensuring the tank is free of contamination, and verifying that safety devices are functional. Regular inspections help maintain safety standards and comply with regulations regarding the transport of hazardous materials. By identifying issues early, a driver can address them to prevent accidents and ensure the safe delivery of goods. This proactive approach is essential for protecting both public safety and the environment.
