Transportation Of Dangerous Goods By Air Training Courses

Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Air

International law requires that all staff involved in the shipping, packing, documentation, carriage or handling of Dangerous Goods by Air must be trained to the required level listed in the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation) Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air.

The training provided must be approved by a nominated competent authority within each member state. In the UK this authority is the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), who enforce the regulations under the legally binding Air Navigation Order (Dangerous Goods Regulations). Revalidation must be completed within 24 months.

Who should attend?

The legislation recognises 12 categories of staff and specifies the training they must receive. For example:
- Category 1 : Shippers and Carriers, Category 3: Freight Forwarders and Category 6: Operators and Ground Handling Agents, all require ‘full in-depth training’. The remaining 9 categories require shorter but specific job related training
