Whether you are a shipper or an airline, ensuring dangerous goods are transported safely is a top priority. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has developed thorough guidelines and regulations to minimize the risk of transporting dangerous goods. Following IATA’s strategic agenda allows you to keep workers, property and the environment safe.
At the Hazmat School, our training courses will equip you with the knowledge of the IATA’s rules, best practices and procedures so you remain safe and compliant.
What Are Dangerous Goods Regulations?
No matter the type of dangerous article or substance, dangerous goods can be transported by air as long as they follow IATA’s Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR).
IATA works alongside local governments and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to develop regulations for transporting dangerous goods. Individuals ranging from ground service providers and freight forwarders to manufacturers need to be aware of these regulations and keep up with any changes that are made over time.
The IATA DGR manual offers a comprehensive reference for shipping dangerous goods. It is recognized by airlines and strives to ensure all goods are transported safely by air.
How Often Are Dangerous Goods Regulations Updated?
The IATA manuals are compiled by several working groups made up of IATA officials and other industry experts. This group offers their expertise and input to ensure the manuals cover the latest information. They are updated and published annually to account for any changes that occur within the industry.
With each new publication, you’ll find new regulations, standards and best practices. It covers everything from forbidden and hidden goods to incident reporting. This is why airlines need to ensure they are referencing and using the latest edition when transporting dangerous goods.
