Introduction
Dangerous goods are commodities that can be dangerous in specific circumstances. These materials may be transported by air only if suitable precautions are taken. Dangerous goods consist not only of obvious substances such as corrosive, explosives, and flammables but also include less apparent articles like thermometers, refrigerants, and some everyday household items such as aerosols, perfumes, and cleaning detergents.
To ensure the safe transport of dangerous goods by air there are internationally agreed rules, published by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) named Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) annually publishes Dangerous Goods Regulations which are fully compliant with the latest edition ICAO TI and based on Annex 18 to the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation.
This training is based on the latest edition of IATA DGR and it’s designed for the cargo agent, the freight forwarder, and operators’ dangerous goods acceptance personnel (Category 6 from the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations Table 1.5.A). The training has been produced to help students to achieve appropriate knowledge in all aspects of handling and transporting dangerous goods by air. Recurrent training must take place within 24 months of previous training to ensure knowledge is current.
