Governing regulations

This course helps learners to get familiar with International Air Transport Association IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations and safety standards to minimize the risks. IATA has made it mandatory to follow regulations since January 1, 2013 to ship lithium batteries via air because these batteries can prove fatal as it can provide high currents and discharge rapidly when short-circuited.

Who Must Take this Course?

Employers of goods handlers and carriers services should ensure that their workers are adequately trained to ensure safe movement of dangerous cargo through air. Employees need to undergo preventative training to avoid accidents and damages. Safe cargo handling training should be extended to airport goods handling workers such as loaders, warehouse managers, passenger-handling staff, freight acceptance staff and cabin crew. Staff members, who are responsible for airport and passenger security and are expected to respond in case of fire, smoke or fumes, should take up this course.
