MD80S ACFT WITH HAZARDOUS CARGO LOADED DIDN'T RECEIVE A RESTR ARTICLES SUMMARY ON THE LOAD CLOSEOUT.

Narrative

I RECEIVED THE OK333 HAZARDOUS CARGO SLIP FROM THE GND PERSONNEL. HE ADVISED ME THAT THE SHIPMENT MAY OR MAY NOT MAKE THE FLT. WHEN IT DID MAKE THE FLT; I REMINDED HIM TO BE SURE TO HAVE IT ENTERED IN THE LOAD CLOSEOUT. HE SAID THAT HE WOULD. HE SEEMED VERY PROFESSIONAL. AFTER THE BATTERIES WERE LOADED; WE DEPARTED THE GATE AND DID NOT RECEIVE THE RESTR ARTICLES SUMMARY ON THE LOAD CLOSEOUT. I CALLED BHM OPS; AND THE AGENT THEN READ ME THE ENTIRE CLOSEOUT FORM -- WHICH I ALREADY HAD -- AGAIN WITHOUT THE RESTR ARTICLES SUMMARY. I AGAIN TOLD HER WHAT I NEEDED. WE DEPARTED BHM. ENRTE TO DFW; I CALLED BHM WITH NO RESPONSE. I SENT MESSAGES TO DISPATCH; AND HE WAS UNABLE TO HELP. I WONDER HOW LONG I WOULD HAVE SAT ON THE GND AT BHM; IF I HAD REFUSED TO TAKE OFF WITHOUT THIS INFO. WERE ANY FARS VIOLATED? AM I REQUIRED TO HAVE THE RESTR SUMMARY ON THE CLOSEOUT PRIOR TO TKOF? REQUEST ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS. RECOMMEND RETRAINING FOR THE BHM AGENT. OUTSOURCING AGENT JOBS MIGHT BE CHEAPER; BUT IT SHOULDN'T COMPROMISE SAFETY.
