International Air Transport Association (IATA) Training

Safex’s International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods training teaches current and proper documentation, classification, and handling requirements for offering and accepting shipments containing dangerous goods by air, in accordance with IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR). Learning Objectives: at the completion of the training, participants are expected to be able to:

• Describe the IATA standards for shipping dangerous goods by air
• Properly classify and identify dangerous goods
• Prepare packages for air shipment in accordance with IATA DGR
• Mark and label dangerous goods shipments
• Accurately complete a Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous Goods
• Respond appropriately to a hazardous materials incident

 Anyone who ships dangerous goods by air (e.g., lithium batteries, dry ice, explosives, flammable materials) should attend this training. Shipping dangerous goods by air can be a high-risk area of business. Understanding the regulations and learning how to dot the “i”‘s and cross the “t”‘s are important elements to ensure proper delivery and compliance. IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations Section 1.5 requires training every 2 years.
