CargoRat - I will be harsher than you on the suject of Handling Agents/Crew.
The Captain signs the NOTOC simply to confirm he is aware of the the carriage of DGR, and where they are loaded, nothing to do with accepting, that is the Cargo/Loadings staff responsibility.
Flight crew should also make sure they have a copy of ICAO Emergency Response Guidance for aircraft incidents involving DGR (Doc 9481-AN/928) on board.
Aircraft manufacturers will normally publish information on AVI stowage in their Wt&Bal manauls but he carriage if DGR is normally set by two things,
Your AOC permits the transportation of DGR.
Your COMPANY will decide what limits (if any) for a particular operation/aircraft type.
