Introduction
The transportation of dangerous goods by air is a highly complex and regulated activity, posing significant risks if not managed with meticulous precision. From hazardous chemicals and radioactive materials to lithium batteries and everyday items with hidden dangers, ensuring these substances are correctly identified, classified, packed, marked, labeled, and documented is paramount to aviation safety. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) serve as the industry's indispensable guide, translating international legal requirements into practical guidelines for everyone involved in the air cargo supply chain. Non-compliance can lead to severe penalties, operational disruptions, and, most importantly, catastrophic accidents. This essential training course focuses on equipping aviation professionals with the expertise to ensure absolute compliance with IATA DGR.
This intensive training course is meticulously designed to empower shippers, freight forwarders, airline cargo acceptance staff, ground handling personnel, and anyone involved in the handling or transportation of dangerous goods by air, with the comprehensive knowledge and practical skills required for IATA DGR certification. Participants will gain a deep understanding of the nine classes of dangerous goods, learn how to navigate the IATA DGR Manual, and master the procedures for proper documentation, packaging, and emergency response. The course will delve into topics such as identification of hidden dangerous goods, limited and excepted quantities, state and operator variations, and the critical responsibilities of all stakeholders. By successfully completing this IATA DGR certification course, participants will be prepared to demonstrate their competence, ensure safety, and comply with international regulations, safeguarding both lives and cargo.
