1-LEGAL CAUTION The material contained in this training program is based on the information obtained from current national, international

and company regulations and it is to be used for training purposes only. At the time of designing this program contained then 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-INTRODUCTION Welcome to The Dangerous Goods Training program. This training program will cover all information which is listed in

Category 10 used by flight crews. This course will give introductory information and basic understanding of dangerous goods, procedures

for air transportation, and their potential hazards.

3-On 11th May, 1996 a Valuejet DC-9 crashed into the Florida Everglades ten minutes after takeoff. 105 passenger and 5 crew a total of

110 people died. The last conversation with the ATC indicated that there was ‘Smoke in the cabin’. After a detailed investigation it was

discovered that 140 ‘Chemical Oxygen Generators’ were loaded as ‘COMAT’ (Company Materials). But nobody took special precautions for

loading those 140 ‘Chemical Oxygen Generators’ as ‘Dangerous Goods’. No special packaging, No marking, No documentation... This is

an example of one of the accident that happened directly related because of the ‘Dangerous goods’ and could not be the last one... To

prevent such incidents in the future all personnel must be trained as appropriate to his responsibilities. Let’s watch a short video about

Valujet accident. To start the video, simply click the play button on the stage.

4-After completing this course, you will be able to; * Understand general philosophy of the Dangerous Goods Regulations, * Identify

dangerous goods, * Identify the classes of dangerous goods, * Understand limitations on dangerous goods, * Refer to lists of dangerous

goods, * Understand marking and labeling requirements, * Recognition of undeclared dangerous goods and their potential hazards, *

Identify packing, storage, and loading procedures, * Understand the Special Load Notification to Captain (NOTOC) * Identify the

appropriate action to be taken in any emergency condition, * Understand the reporting of dangerous goods incidents and accidents.

5-Defining dangerous goods can vary. Not only dangerous goods materials in 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.

6-The Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air is published by the International Civil Aviation Organization

(ICAO) to ensure safe transportation of dangerous goods by air. The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations are based on Annex 18 and

ICAO Technical Instructions.

APPLICABILITY - GENERAL PHILOSOPHY

7-APPLICABILITY GENERAL PHILOSOPHY Of all accidents that are directly related with dangerous goods. Hundreds of people died and

thousands are injured. In order to transport dangerous goods by air safely, very strict rules should be

1.8

followed. These rules are based on the following basis:

Classification

8-CLASSIFICATION 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 goods.

Prohibitions

9-PROHIBITIONS 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

10-PACKAGING In order to minimize the risk in 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 mandatory when

‘Limited Quantities’ provisions are used.

Marking And Labeling

11-MARKING AND LABELING The Dangerous Good Packages should be easily recognized under normal conditions and emergencies, in

order to ensure that special markings and labels are used.

Documentation

12-DOCUMENTATION The Shipper is responsible for the proper completion of the ‘Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous Goods’ form. This

document ensures that all personnel in the ‘Transportation Chain’ are informed.

Notification To Captain

13-NOTIFICATION TO CAPTAIN The Pilot in Command must be informed of any ‘Dangerous Goods’ which are loaded into the aircraft.

The Operator is responsible of the preparation of the ‘NOTOC’. This form includes Emergency procedures that may occur.

Information To Passengers And Crew

14-INFORMATION TO PASSENGERS AND CREW In order to avoid accidents which may occur because of the substances carried in the

cabin or cockpit by passengers or crew, both should be informed about ‘Hidden Hazards’. Some substances which are used very

commonly in daily life include ‘Dangerous Goods’ which may be carried only in defined limits and conditions.

Accident and Incident Reporting

15-ACCIDENT & INCIDENT REPORTING Accidents or Incidents including Dangerous Goods should be reported to the

1.8

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

16-TRAINING It is a legal requirement that all personnel included in the preparation or transport of ‘Dangerous Goods’ by air should be

trained as to be able to carry out their responsibilities. The training programs should be reviewed and approved by local authorities. Unless

the local authority defines a shorter period recurrent training should be repeated every 24 mounts. To verify the understanding of the rules

a test must be given. Only successful trainers are certificated. DGR training is based on IATA DGR handbook and IATA DGR handbook

should be used during all operations.

Definition

17-DEFINITION ACCORDING TO THE IATA DGR BOOK: Articles or substances which are capable of posing a hazard to health, safety,

property or to the environment and which are shown in the list of dangerous goods in these regulation or which are classified according to

these regulations.

Legal Basis

18-LEGAL BASIS The IATA DGR book which is issued by IATA includes ICAO technical instructions and offers additional IATA rules. Also

ICAO technical instructions Civil Aviation Regulations, Part VI, Chapter-2 explain the basis under how the dangerous goods may be

transported by air.

Shipper’s Responsibilities

19-SHIPPER’S RESPONSIBILITIES 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 &

labeling and that the documentation is correct according to IATA rules or ICAO TI. Before offering any consignment to the operator the

shipper must check documentation and packages for any hidden hazard as well.

Provision Of Information - Including Emergency Response Information

20-PROVISION OF INFORMATION, INCLUDING EMERGENCY RESPONSE INFORMATION All operators are responsible of the

following; * Acceptance * Storage * Loading * Inspection * Provision of information * Reporting Dangerous Goods Incidents and Accidents *

Retention of Records * Training

Training Requirements

21-TRAINING REQUIREMENTS The basic aim of training is to understand the philosophy and rules of the IATA DGR Book. All personnel

involved in preparation and transport of Dangerous Goods must be trained to diligently carry out their responsibilities. A test must be

undertaken after training to verify understanding. After the Initial training recurrent training must be taken with-in 24 months unless the local

authority defines a shorter period.

22-The training subject for each category of personnel is defined in the IATA DGR Book. This course is covers the minimum requirements

for Flight Crew and Load Planners (Category 10). * General Philosophy, * Limitations, * Provisions

for Passengers and Crew, * Recognition of Undeclared Dangerous Goods, * List of dangerous goods, * Marking and Labeling, * Storage

and Loading procedures, * Pilot’s Notification, * Emergency Procedures.

Security Of Dangerous Goods

23-SECURITY OF DANGEROUS GOODS After 9 / 11 it is considered that some dangerous goods may be used in Terrorist attacks. All

personnel in the transport chain must be aware of the risk and must consider the security requirements. A security plan must be made. All

personnel must be trained with such a program that includes ‘Security Awareness’.

Information To Shippers

24-INFORMATION TO SHIPPERS The operator must alert shippers at Cargo acceptance points regarding regulations applying to the

transport of Dangerous Goods. There is a warning on the airway bill as well.

Information To Passengers

25-INFORMATION TO PASSENGERS Check-in staff must be trained to be able to identify any Dangerous Goods carried by passengers.

Passengers must be queried about the contents of baggage to prevent any (Hidden) Dangerous Goods from being taken onto the aircraft.

26-Passengers must be informed about the type of Goods which are considered Dangerous. This information, as a minimum, must be: *

Mentioned on the ticket (Usually on the back of the ticket) * Visual Signs in Check in area, Ticket sale, Boarding areas and baggage claim

areas.

LIMITATIONS

27-LIMITATIONS * Some Dangerous Goods are defined as ‘Totally Forbidden for Air Transport’. * Some may be transported only with the

approval of 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’.

28-ACCEPTABLE DANGEROUS GOODS 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.

29-FORBIDDEN DANGEROUS GOODS 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. Those dangerous goods

may not be transported by air.

30-HIDDEN DANGEROUS GOODS Most substances or devices we use in our daily life include or work with a ‘Dangerous Good’. For

example; there are aerosols, diving equipment, automobile parts, pharmaceuticals, torches, electrical equipment etc.

31-How to recognize the “HIDDEN DANGEROUS GOODS”? The cabin and cockpit crew must maintain awareness and



Ref

1.8

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.

32-Some tips that may help you of the recognition of “HIDDEN DANGEROUS GOODS”? are: * -a packages generating fumes or smoke; * -

a package that is very cold to the touch or has visible frost outside may contain dry ice or liquid nitrogen; * -a package which is reused may

include old dangerous goods marks or labels; * -a package with stain or wet package may indicate spillage; * -a packages vibrating, ticking,

making noises, hissing may indicate machinery parts, aerosols etc. * -a package with any odours or smells may indicate a spillage or

leakage * -a package with a shifting centre of gravity may contain dangerous liquid contents; * -a package with aerosol spray cans may

make a characteristic rattle, especially spray paint aerosols; * -a package with pictures of chain saws, lawn mowers, camping stoves,

lanterns or generators or other fuel including machinery may have fuel residues;

33-Here are some examples of “HIDDEN DANGEROUS GOODS”. AIRCRAFT SPARE PARTS/AIRCRAFT EQUIPMENT AIRCRAFT ON

GROUND (AOG) SPARES May contain, Explosives, Chemical oxygen generators, Paint, Adhesives, Fire extinguishers or Wet or lithium

batteries. AUTOMOBILE PARTS or SUPPLIES May contain, Engines, Fuel tanks, Compressed gases, Air bag inflators.

CAMPING/EXPEDITIONARY EQUIPMENT May contain, Flammable gases, Flammable liquids, Flammable solids.

34-DIVING EQUIPMENT May contain, Cylinders of compressed gas, Diving lamps. DRILLING AND MINING EQUIPMENT May contain,

Explosives or some other dangerous goods. ELECTRICALLY POWERED APPARATUS like lawn mowers, wheelchairs, hover boards. May

contain, Wet batteries, Lithium batteries or fuel residue. FILM CREW OR MEDIA EQUIPMENT May contain Explosive pyrotechnic devices,

Wet batteries, Lithium batteries, Fuel, Heat producing items.

35-Frozen Fruit Or Vegetables: May contain, Dry ice also known as Carbon Dioxide Solid used as refrigerant. Hot Air Balloon: May contain,

Cylinders with flammable gas, Fire extinguishers, Engines internal combustion, Batteries Passenger Baggage: May contain, Fireworks,

Flammable household liquids, Corrosive oven/drain cleaners, Matches, Ammunition, Bleach. Tool Boxes: May contain, Explosives,

Compressed gases or aerosols, Flammable gases, Flammable adhesives/paints, Corrosive liquids, Lithium batteries. Vaccines: May be

packed with Dry ice.

36-Passengers or Shippers may easily make mistakes when classifying goods. Some cargo may include Dangerous Goods but are

declared as general cargo. That is why Cargo acceptance and Check–in Personnel must be adequately trained to describe ‘Hidden

Dangerous Goods’.

37-DANGEROUS GOODS CARRIED BY PASSENGERS AND CREW Dangerous goods must not be carried by passengers or crew into

the aircraft except for those listed below. There are strict restrictions regarding substances, amounts and places where those substances

may be carried.

38-This section introduces you in detail the specific substances and articles that are allowed to be carried aboard aircraft

93-CLASSIFICATION & MARKING, LABELING In this part we will learn the classes and labels which are used to define these classes.

94-According to the hazard, they present Dangerous Goods are divided into 9 Classes. Some of these classes are also divided into some

divisions. These are Class 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6

95-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;

96-Let‘s look at more detailed information on the classes; CLASS 1. EXPLOSIVES; This class defines all explosives. Any substances

Inspection

146-INSPECTION Dangerous goods packages must not be loaded into aircraft if any visible leakage or damage is seen during inspection.

This rule Applies for over packs and Unit Load Devices (ULD) too.

147-On unloading, Dangerous goods packages must also be inspected for any damage and/or leakage. If a package is found to be

damaged, the position where the package or ULD is being loaded must be inspected for contamination.

148-As well, the damaged package must be removed from the aircraft. Safe disposal must be arranged according to state, Airport and

company procedures.

149-This entire process must be conducted by specially trained personnel. For Infectious substances and Radioactive Material the

appropriate state Authority must be advised.

Securing Packages

150-SECURING PACKAGES Packages of dangerous goods must be properly secured so that to prevent any movement in flight that would

change their orientation or to cause damage to them.

Separation Of Packages

151-SEPARATION OF PACKAGES Packages of dangerous goods which may dangerously react with each other must be physically

separated. There are two ways: * Tie-down the packages in separate locations * Locating non-dangerous cargo between the packages.

Loading Restrictions

152-LOADING RESTRICTIONS Packages bearing ‘Cargo Aircraft Only’ Label must not be loaded into a Passenger Aircraft.

Loading Of Incompatible Dangerous Goods

153-LOADING OF INCOMPATIBLE DANGEROUS GOODS Some Dangerous Goods have such properties that in event of spillage or

leakage react dangerously with other dangerous goods. Those Dangerous goods must not be stowed in aircraft/ warehouse next to each

other.

154-IATA DGR Book explain in detail which Class and Divisions must be segregated in Table 9.3.A ‘Segregation between Packages’ On

the table when you see ‘X’ in any condition and the sign ‘X’ indicates that substances must be separated. For example, any substance

which is in Class 8 cannot be stored with division 4.3. The ‘-’ sign indicates that the substances do not need to be segregated. For more

detailed explanation about loading explosives together please check IATA DGR Book. Division 1.4.S and Classes 6, 7 and 9 are not

included in this table. This division and classes do not require segregation from other classes of dangerous goods.

155-Let see some examples Are those two packages needs to be segregated from each other? Must be segregated

Loading And Stowage Of Radioactive Material

158-LOADING AND STOWAGE OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL Any radioactive material must not be loaded in any compartment occupied

by passenger or crew. In order to keep radiation exposure level as low as possible radioactive packages must be loaded in underfloor

compartments or at the rear of the main deck.

159-The main criteria when loading ‘Radioactive Material’ is the ‘Transport Index’. Category I – White has no Transport Index which means

that there is no limit for loading radioactive material packages aboard the aircraft. Category II and Category III - Yellow must be separated

from passenger cabin and Flight deck. The Transport Index is indicated on the label which also determines Separation Distance.

160-IATA DGR Book table 10.9.C defines the minimum distances which must be observed for the loading of such packages. This table

gives vertical distance which must be observed for loading of ‘Yellow Radioactive’ packages on passenger aircraft. For example, the

substance has Yellow Radioactive label indicates that the transport index is 3.5 and the table 10.9.C shows that the distance from top of

the package to the passenger compartment should be 0.85 meter. If the compartment height is 1.2 meter, the package’s height is 0.30

meter plus vertical distance 0.85 equal 1.15 meter. In this case the package can be loaded. If we are loading more than one package

containing radioactive material, the first package transport index is 3.5 and the second one is 2.0 and the total transport index is 5.5.

Vertical distance from the table is 1.15 meters, the package height is 0.3 meter, when we sum these two numbers we will find 1.45 meter

required total height from passenger compartment. This means that we cannot load these two packages next to each other and must be

segregated. The horizontal distance calculation is package which has highest transport index value is 0.85 multiply the distance by 3 and

we will find the horizontal distance which is 2.55 meters.

Wheelchairs Or Other Battery-Powered Mobility Aids- Spillable Batteries

161-WHEELCHAIRS OR OTHER BATTERY-POWERED MOBILITY AIDS SPILLABLE BATTERIES Wheelchairs and other battery

powered mobility devices which include spillable batteries can be carried as check baggage and with the approval of the operator. * If the

wheelchair or mobility aid device cannot be loaded in an upright position .The battery must be separated and packed in a rigid outer

package with ‘Corrosive’ Hazard label ‘BATTERY, WET, WITH WHEELCHAIR’ and ‘ Package Orientation’ label affixed. The rigid outer

package must be leak–proof and the package must be securely tied down. * If the wheelchair or mobility aid device can be loaded in an

upright position, the battery must be disconnected, terminals must be insulated to prevent short circuits and the battery must be securely

attached to the wheelchair. The pilot in command must be first informed about the location of the wheelchair and battery.

Non –Spillable Batteries

162-NON –SPILLABLE BATTERIES Wheelchairs and other battery powered mobility devices which include NON-spillable batteries can be

carried as check baggage and with the approval of the operator. The battery must be disconnected, terminals must be insulated to prevent

short circuits and the battery must be securely attached to the wheelchair. The

PROVISIONS OF INFORMATION - NOTOC

163-PROVISIONS OF INFORMATION NOTOC Operators that carry Dangerous Goods must provide before the flight, a written or printed

document, with the correct and legible information regarding the Dangerous Goods to be carried as Cargo.

164-The document should be on a different form apart from the ‘Air waybill’ or ‘Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous Goods’. Usually this

form is called a ‘Special–Load –Notification to Captain’-‘NOTOC’.

165-The ‘NOTOC’ must include the minimum following information: * Air waybill number * Proper Shipping Name and the correct UN or ID

according to the ‘List of Dangerous Goods’ * Class or Division and Subsidiary Hazard (s) Compatibility Group if necessary * Packing Group

if it is mentioned in ‘List of Dangerous Goods’ * Net quantity and Gross Weight if applicable * Radioactive Materials : * Number of packages

o Category o Transport Index o Exact Loading position * Cargo Aircraft Only indication if applicable * Destination Airports of Load And

Unload * Any State Provisions if applicable.

166-The ‘NOTOC’ must be delivered to the captain early before flight so that he can be able to physically check the information. There

must be a different form or a copy of the same form that the captain must sign verifying that he received the ‘NOTOC’.

167-It is very important that ‘NOTOC’ includes a statement which declares that the person responsible of loading the Dangerous Goods

has checked that there is no evidence of leakage or damage to packages containing Dangerous Goods which have been loaded aboard

the aircraft.

How To Use The Notoc In Case Of Emergency

168-HOW TO USE THE NOTOC IN CASE OF EMERGENCY In the case of any in flight emergency the pilot in command must, as soon as

the situation permits, inform the air traffic services unit for notification to airport authorities regarding all Dangerous Goods being carried

aboard the aircraft. This information should include at the least: * UN/ID number * Proper Shipping Name * Class, Division and compatibility

Group for Class 1 * Subsidiary Hazards (s) * Quantity and location where the cargo is loaded

169-Alternatively, information may be provided by the operator by telephone.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

170-EMERGENCY PROCEDURES Emergency procedures must be available in every location where Dangerous Goods are handled.

ICAO Annex 14 – Aerodromes, Chapter 9 Emergency and other Services, requires that emergency procedures must be established by

Airport Authorities. Also the Operators must provide information to Flight crews and other employees.
