1-The material contained in this training program is based on the information obtained from current state, local and company regulations
and it is to be used for training purposes only. At the time of designing this program it contained current information. In the event of conflict
between data provided herein and that in publications issued by the authority, the authority shall take precedence.
INTRODUCTION
2-Welcome to The Dangerous Goods Training program.
This training program will cover all information used by FLIGHT CREW
This course will give:
-Understanding the basics of dangerous goods
-Transporting cargo/baggage
-Collecting safety data
And all sub-objectives as per latest Competency-Based Training And Assessment Approach by ICAO and IATA Regulations.
UNDERSTANDING THE BASICS OF DANGEROUS GOODS

3-In this section, we will see this in detail.
-Recognizing dangerous goods.
-Identifying the general limitations.
-Positioning different roles and responsibilities.
-Understanding the criticality of classification and packaging.
-Interpreting the hazard communication.
-Familiarizing with basic Emergency Response.
DANGEROUS GOODS APPLICABILITY

4-We live in a Dangerous Goods world. Our car runs on Flammable Liquid, we cook using Flammable gases, the electronics we use run
with Lithium batteries. The first step to recognize the Danger is to understand the definition.
THE ICAO DEFINITION OF DANGEROUS GOODS

5-Dangerous goods are articles or substances which are capable of posing a hazard to health, safety, property, or the environment and
which are shown in the list of dangerous goods in ICAO Technical Instructions or which are classified according to these Instructions.
UNDERSTAND THE DEFINITION

6-Defining dangerous goods can vary according to local and international authorities. But we also must keep in mind that not only
dangerous goods materials are what you may think, like explosives, poisons, and acids but also everyday household items such as
perfumes and aerosols can be deemed dangerous goods items when transported by air.

Ref DGR7-7
Page 8 / 31
Rev 2.0
Date 12/22/23, 12:00
RECOGNIZE THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK

7-To understand the legal framework of the rules which apply we need to know the international authorities. The UN Subcommittee of
Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (SCoETDG) develops recommended procedures for the transport of all types of dangerous
goods except radioactive materials. These procedures, applicable to all modes of transport, are published in the Recommendations on the
Transport of Dangerous Goods-Model Regulations.
INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY

8-IAEA develops recommended procedures for the safe transport of radioactive materials.These procedures are published in the
Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material.
INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION ORGANIZATION

9-ICAO has used these recommendations as the basis for developing the regulations for the safe transport of dangerous goods by air by
any aircraft.
The ICAO regulations are codified in Annex 18 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation and in its Technical Instructions for the Safe
Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air also known as Technical Instructions.
INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION

10-The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations contain all of the requirements of the Technical Instructions.
IATA has included additional requirements, which are more restrictive than the Technical Instructions and reflect industry standard
practices or operational considerations.
LOCAL LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

11-Along with global requirements, each country has its own legislation within the global framework, which is published by its local
authority. The requirements include operational procedures as well as training.
CLASSIFICATION
12-Dangerous goods are classified according to criteria determined by the UN Subcommittee of Experts on Transport of Dangerous Goods
(SCoETDG).The classification of dangerous goods defines whether the substance may be transported by air as well as the conditions for
their transport.The shipper is responsible for the correct classification of dangerous goods.
PROHIBITIONS
13-Some dangerous goods are defined as totally forbidden for air transport.Some may be transported only with the approval of the state
concerned.Some may be transported both on passenger and cargo aircraft and some only on cargo aircraft.For each condition specific
requirements are defined.
PACKAGING
14-To minimize the risk of carrying dangerous goods by air detailed packing instructions are defined. Dangerous Goods normally should be
packed with UN performance-tested single or combination packages. But these tests are not

Ref DGR7-7
Page 9 / 31
Rev 2.0
Date 12/22/23, 12:00
mandatory when Limited Quantities provisions are used.
MARKING AND LABELING

15-Dangerous goods packages must be easily recognizable in both normal and emergency situations. This is ensured by special markings
and labels.
DOCUMENTATION
16-The shipper is responsible for ensuring the accurate completion of the Shipper''s Declaration for Dangerous Goods form. This document
provides critical information to all personnel involved in the transportation chain, ensuring the safe and secure movement of dangerous
goods.
NOTIFICATION TO CAPTAIN
17-The Pilot in Command must be informed of any Dangerous Goods which are loaded into the aircraft. The Operator is responsible for the
preparation of the NOTOC. The form contains emergency procedure codes that may be encountered.
INFORMATION TO PASSENGERS AND CREW

18-To mitigate the risk of accidents caused by substances carried in the cabin or cockpit by passengers or crew, both should be made
aware of hidden hazards. Some substances that are commonly used in daily life are classified as dangerous goods and can only be carried
in defined limits and conditions.
ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT REPORTING

19-Accidents or Incidents including Dangerous Goods should be reported to the relevant authorities so that after an investigation new rules
or other corrective actions may be developed.This will help in preventing accidents and Incidents.
TRAINING
20-All personnel involved in the preparation or transport of dangerous goods by air are legally required to be trained to the appropriate
level, to carry out their responsibilities.
The training program must be reviewed and approved by the relevant local authority.
Recurrent training must be repeated every 24 months unless a shorter period is specified by the local authority.
A test must be administered to verify the understanding of the rules.
Only those who pass the test will be certified.
IDENTIFY THE APPLICATION SCOPE

21-Transporting dangerous goods by air is a serious matter. In the past, accidents involving dangerous goods have resulted in hundreds of
deaths and thousands of injuries. To ensure safe transportation of dangerous goods by air, strict rules must be followed. These rules are
based on the following principles.
DIFFERENTIATE HAZARD VS RISK

Ref DGR7-7
Page 10 / 31
Rev 2.0
Date 12/22/23, 12:00
22-HAZARD is identified as something that has the potential to cause harm to people, property or the environment.In our case the
dangerous goods have chemical and physical properties which are hazardous.
RISK is identified as the chance or probability of that hazard causing harm or damage to people, property or the environment.
For example, if a flammable liquid spills in a plane this may cause a fire which could lead to a crash of the plane.
UNDERSTANDING THE GENERAL LIMITATIONS

23-During the transport of dangerous goods there are well defined limitations.
Some Dangerous Goods are defined as Totally Forbidden for Air Transport.
Some may be transported only with the approval of the state concerned.
Some may be transported both on passenger and cargo aircraft.And some only on Cargo aircraft.
For each condition certain requirements are defined.States and Operators can impose further rules called Variations.
ACCEPTABLE DANGEROUS GOODS

24-Most of the Dangerous Goods Defined in the List of Dangerous Goods may be carried aboard aircraft as cargo provided that they meet
the criteria and rules defined by ICAO.
FORBIDDEN DANGEROUS GOODS

25-Some Dangerous Goods are considered too dangerous to be carried by air so those goods are defined as Dangerous Goods Forbidden
for air transport.If the substance is liable to start any dangerous reaction, for example: explosion, fire, emission of toxic, corrosive or
flammable gases; those substances are completely forbidden for Air transport.
DEVELOP A SENSE OF FORBIDDEN DANGEROUS GOODS

26-Developing a sense of awareness and caution around forbidden dangerous goods is an ongoing process. Stay informed, be vigilant,
and prioritize safety to mitigate risks effectively.
RECOGNIZE POTENTIAL HIDDEN DANGEROUS GOODS

27-Hidden and undeclared dangerous goods are both types of dangerous goods that are not properly identified. However, there is a key
difference between the two.
Hidden dangerous goods are those that are contained in a package or container that does not visibly indicate that it contains dangerous
goods.
For example, a package that contains dry ice may not be labeled as such, and the dry ice may not be visible through the packaging.
Undeclared dangerous goods are those that are contained in a package or container that is properly labeled as containing

Ref DGR7-7
Page 11 / 31
Rev 2.0
Date 12/22/23, 12:00
dangerous goods, but the package or container is not properly declared to the transportation carrier.
For example, a package that is labeled as containing dry ice may not be properly declared to the airline when it is checked in for a flight.
Both hidden and undeclared dangerous goods pose a serious safety risk. If they are not properly identified, they could be mishandled
during transportation, which could lead to an accident.
HOW TO RECOGNIZE THE HIDDEN DANGEROUS GOODS?

28-The cabin and cockpit crew must maintain awareness and vigilance at all times when examining and accepting baggage, or when flight
attendants, assisting in the stowage of carry-on baggage in the cabin prior to flight.They must be very careful to ensure that no dangerous
goods, other than those permitted by Table 2.3.A, are carried on board the aircraft as baggage.You should ask for confirmation from a
passenger about the contents of any item which are suspicions that may contain dangerous goods.
RECOGNITION OF HIDDEN DANGEROUS GOODS

29-Here are some tips to help you identify hidden dangerous goods:
- Look out for packages that are emitting fumes or smoke.
- If a package feels very cold to the touch or has frost on the outside, it may contain dry ice or liquid nitrogen.
- Be cautious of reused packages that may still have old dangerous goods marks or labels.
- Packages with stains or that are wet could indicate spillage.
- Pay attention to packages that are vibrating, ticking, making noises, or hissing, as they may contain machinery parts or aerosols.
- Any package with unusual odors or smells could indicate a spillage or leakage.
- Be cautious of packages with a shifting center of gravity, as they may contain dangerous liquid contents.
- Aerosol spray cans may make a characteristic rattle, especially spray paint aerosols.
- Packages with images of chainsaws, lawnmowers, camping stoves, lanterns, generators, or other fuel-related machinery may have fuel
residues.

DESCRIBE HIDDEN DANGEROUS GOODS

33-Passengers and shippers can easily make mistakes when classifying goods. This means that some cargo that contains dangerous
goods may be declared as general cargo. Cargo acceptance and check-in personnel must therefore be adequately trained to identify
hidden dangerous goods.
FAMILIARIZE WITH PASSENGER PROVISIONS

34-Passenger provisions are the rules, regulations, and services that transportation companies provide to passengers. They''re there to
make sure passengers stay safe, comfortable, and have their rights protected.
IDENTIFYING ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

35-To keep passengers and flight crew safe while flying, Safety always comes first.Aviation safety is important because there are lives
involved in every operation of aircraft.
CLARIFY THE INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE ROLE OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN STAKEHOLDERS
36-All members of the supply chain have a responsibility when it comes to the safe transportation of dangerous goods.
Shippers are the first link in the chain, followed by freight forwarders, ground handlers, and operators.

Page 13 / 31
Rev 2.0
Date 12/22/23, 12:00
37-The shipper is responsible for training of their personnel to enable them to carry out their responsibilities, defining that the substance is
allowed or forbidden for transport by air.
Classification, definition, packaging, marking and labeling and documentation are correct according to IATA rules or ICAO technical
instructions.

are: Life Jackets, Life rafts emergency escape slides and all articles containing compressed gas cylinders, and items like first aid kits or
flares.
EXAMPLES
82-Aerosols, Alcoholic beverages, perfumes and colognes, lighters and safety matches may be carried aboard the aircraft for use or sale.
Also Dry Ice may be carried aboard the aircraft as a refrigerant for beverages and food service
RECOGNIZE THE ROLE AND IMPACT OF STATE AND OPERATOR VARIATIONS

83-Countries and Airlines may impose their own demands as specific rules.Some countries demand written prior approval for specific
Dangerous Goods.Some Airlines do not accept the Carriage of some Dangerous Goods or demands specific types of packaging etc.The
specific list of variations must be checked before any consignment is presented to an operator.
UNDERSTANDING THE IMPORTANCE OF CLASSIFICATION and PACKAGING

84-Classification the dangerous substance directly affects all the following processes.The class of the material and the UN number form the
basis for us in packaging, marking, labeling, and document preparation.
Any mistake to be made at this stage will create a great danger which will cause also a high risk of penalty.
IDENTIFY THE GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT CLASSES, DIVISIONS

85-According to the hazard, they present Dangerous Goods are divided into 9 Classes.Some of these classes are also divided into
divisions.
The main rule of the numbering the labels is the first digit defines the class and the second one defines the division.
For example, 2.1; 2 indicates that this is GAS, and 1 indicates its division which is referred to as Flammable gases.
CLASS 1.EXPLOSIVES
86-This class defines all explosives.
Any substances which are used as explosives in military, technical, practice, and all other forms can be called explosives.
CLASS 1.DIVISIONS
87-Class 1 explosives are divided into six divisions, each of which defines a specific type of explosive. However, these divisions are not
enough to classify all explosives in detail, so compatibility groups are also used. Compatibility groups are denoted by the letters A through
S, and there are a total of 35 explosive labels when combined with the six divisions.
CLASS 1.DIVISIONS
88-Most of the explosives are totally forbidden as they are too Dangerous.Only division 1.3 Compatibility groups C, G and Division 1.4
Compatibility groups B, C, D, E, G, S are allowed on CARGO Aircraft only.

UNDERSTAND GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF PACKING GROUPS

Ref DGR7-7
Page 23 / 31
Rev 2.0
Date 12/22/23, 12:00
112-For packing purposes, dangerous goods are assigned to the relevant packing group according to the degree of danger they present.
Packing Group 1.
High danger.
Packing Group 2.
Medium danger.
Packing Group 3.
Low danger.
The quality and rigidity of the package must meet the criteria of the assigned packing group.
CONSIDER MULTIPLE HAZARDS

113-It is common to see an article or substance which has more than one hazard.For example, a flammable liquid could be toxic as
well.The main risk and sub risks which can be more than one are indicated in ICAO and IATA List of Dangerous goods.
SAFETY DATA SHEETS

114-SDS are summary documents that provide information about the hazards of a product and advice about safety precautions.SDS are
usually written by the manufacturer or supplier of the product.
In daily operations SDS are the basic documents which prove classification of the substance as well as UN number, Class/Divisions and
sub risk and Proper Shipping name.
UNDERSTANDING HAZARD COMMUNICATION

115-Packages containing dangerous goods should be marked and labelled as per Regulations.This is to ensure the proper communication
for hazards presented in packages.
RECOGNISE THE BASIC MARKING REQUIREMENTS

116-Dangerous Goods packages must have markings and labels durable and visible.
Lets see the marking used on dangerous goods packages.
UN or ID number is a unique number given for a specific substance or article.
Proper shipping name: is the name of the substance or article defined in detail in the List of Dangerous Goods.
Net quantity: This is the quantity of the substance.
The full name and address of the shipper and consignee.
The UN symbol is followed by a specially designed marking that indicates the package has been tested and approved for dangerous
goods.
RECOGNISE THE BASIC LABELLING REQUIREMENTS

117-Beside the markings we have two types of labels.
Hazard label(s): Indicates the hazard of the substance.Could be more than 1 if the substance has sub hazard.

forbidden for carriage or Maximum Net Quantity exceeds the limit allowed for Passenger Aircraft.
CRYOGENIC LIQUID
122-Division 2.2 gases that are deep-frozen must have this label. This label warns personnel that gas may flow from the venting device.
ORIENTATION LABELS
123-These labels are used to indicate that those packages must be stowed in an upright position. At least two labels must be used on
opposite sides. These labels must be used on packages that contain liquid or combination packages which include inner packages.
KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT

124-This label must be used in addition to hazard labels for the packages which contain Self–reactive Substances 4.1, and Organic
Peroxide 5.2.
This label warns personnel that this package must be stowed in a well-ventilated area and away from direct sunlight and any other heat
source.
RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL, EXCEPTED PACKAGE

BATTERY-POWERED WHEELCHAIR AND MOBILITY AID LABEL

126-To assist the handling of wheelchairs and mobility aids with batteries, this label shows an example of a label that may be used to assist
in identifying whether or not a wheelchair has had the battery removed.
The label is in two parts;
Part A remains with the wheelchair and indicates whether or not the battery has been removed. In the particular case where the battery is
separated from the wheelchair,
Part B may be used to assist in identifying the battery and also in reconciling the battery and its wheelchair.
EXCEPTED QUANTITY PACKAGE MARK

127-Packages containing excepted quantities of dangerous goods prepared in accordance with this subsection must be durably and legibly
marked with this mark.
The primary hazard class or when assigned, the division of each of the dangerous goods contained in the package must be shown in the
mark.
Where the name of the shipper or consignee is not shown elsewhere on the package this information must be included within the mark.
LIMITED QUANTITIES MARK

Page 26 / 31
Rev 2.0
Date 12/22/23, 12:00
131-The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals or GHS is an internationally agreed-upon system,
created by the United Nations.It is designed to replace the various classification and labelling standards used in different countries by using
consistent criteria for classification and labelling on a global level.The products with following GHS labels are classified as dangerous
goods.Products bearing the following GHS labels are not classified as dangerous goods.
AWARENESS OF CONSUMER WARNING LABELS

132-Some everyday household items bear consumer warning labels which may or may not indicate they are classified as dangerous goods
in air transport.
The presence of these pictograms may indicate that the contents of the package are dangerous goods.
In these circumstances, clarification should be sought from the shipper regarding the product''s classification before accepting the goods as
''Not Restricted''. Clarification could be provided by the production of a Safety Data Sheet or other technical specifications for the substance
or article.
IDENTIFY THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION

133-Properly classified, packed, marked and labeled packages must also have proper documentation.
The first document to be filled for a DGR shipment is Shippers Declaration for Dangerous Goods.
Must be presented in at least 2 colored copies during the acceptance of the consignment.
Airwaybill will be the second document which also has a section where DG must be indicated.
Notification to Captain-NOTOC is the third document which is designed to inform in detail the responsible captain.
FAMILIARIZING WITH BASIC EMERGENCY RESPONSE

134-On 11 May 1996, the crew of a ValuJet on a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Miami to Atlanta reported fire on board. The
climb was stopped approaching 11, 000 feet, and an air turnback was commenced, fire damage prevented the completion of this plan and
the aircraft crashed. Killing all 105 passengers and 5 crew members.
After the investigation, the NTSB report indicated that the COMAT (company-owned material) boxes actually had Chemical Oxygen
Generators which started the fire.
Chemical Oxygen Generators are dangerous goods and in this case were not classified, packed, marked, labeled, and documented
properly.
This accident showed aviation that not only preventing risk is important but also was a reminder that we should be ready for emergency
response.
CREATE AWARENESS ABOUT GENERAL EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

135-This is the list of Dangerous Goods Accidents that happened during past years.
Increased flight numbers also increase the risk of Dangerous Goods accidents.
ICAO has The Emergency Response Guidance for Aircraft Incidents Involving Dangerous Goods (ICAO Doc.9481-AN/928) which is the
main document regarding the Emergency Response for Dangerous Goods in aviation.

Ref DGR7-7
Page 27 / 31

UNDERSTAND THE EMPLOYERS EMERGENCY RESPONSE REQUIREMENTS

136-The operator must ensure that for consignments requiring a Shipper''s Declaration for Dangerous Goods, appropriate information is
immediately available at all times for use in emergency response to accidents and incidents involving dangerous goods in air transport.
Company-specific emergency response procedures must be included in training programs.
RECOGNIZE COUNTRY SPECIFIC EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

137-As per the ICAO Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air document, each state can use its specific
emergency procedures. Before any flight which includes the carriage of Dangerous Goods, the operator must ensure that all state
variations are met. These variations are as simple as having a 24-hour Emergency contact number on DGD or demanding the Local
authority''s written prior approval and compliance with the local manual on Dangerous Goods.
EXEMPTIONS
138-In instances of extreme urgency or when other forms of transport are inappropriate or when full compliance with the prescribed
requirements is contrary to the public interest, the States concerned may grant exemption from the provisions of the Regulations provided
that in such instances every effort is made to achieve an overall level of safety in transport which is equivalent to the level of safety
provided for in these Regulations.
APPROVALS
139-According to ICAO 9284: States concerned may approve to permit the transport of dangerous goods, provided that in such instances
an overall level of safety in transport that is equivalent to the level of safety provided for in these Regulations is achieved.
Acceptance of dangerous goods offered for transport under the provisions of approval is at the discretion of the operator concerned.
TRANSPORTING CARGO/BAGGAGE
140-ICAO Regulations require that dangerous goods presented as cargo be properly classified, identified, packaged, marked, labeled,
documented, and in the proper condition for shipment.
In accordance with ICAO regulations, dangerous goods may not be transported by air unless they are accepted, handled, and transported
according to the rules.
No person shall carry dangerous goods or cause dangerous goods to be carried aboard an aircraft in either checked or carry-on baggage
or on his person unless permitted by ICAO Provisions for dangerous goods carried by passengers or crew or IATA table 2.3.A.
