DANGEROUS GOODS AND REGULATIONS || ALL SOLUTIONS
ARE ACCURATE.
Dangerous goods definition correct answers are articles or substances which are capable of
posing a risk to health, safety, property or to the environment and which are shown in the ICAO
list of dangerous goods in the Technical Instructions or which are classified according to those
Instructions.
This means that all articles or substances that are listed in the ICAO manual called Technical
Instructions are classified as Dangerous Goods. They are dangerous because they may place your
health, safety, property or environment at risk.
Items that may not be particularly dangerous, or even used daily on the ground, may become
dangerous during air transport. This is due to the change in the environment; air pressure,
temperature, vibration, and the effect of the environment in the aircraft with regards to oxygen.
Regulatory framework of dangerous goods correct answers Dangerous Goods are classified in
accordance with criteria set by the United Nations Subcommittee of Experts. This committee
determines whether articles or substances are suitable for air transport and, if so, how. Some
Dangerous Goods can only be carried in cargo aircraft, while others may be transported on both
cargo and passenger aircraft. Some Dangerous Goods are forbidden from air transport.
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) manual "Technical Instructions for the
Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air" provides Operators with the basic legal requirements
for transporting dangerous goods by air. This manual provides information on marking, labeling,
packaging, documenting, and classification of Dangerous Goods.
The International Air Transport Association provides guiding materials for Operators in the form
of IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR). IATA DGR is based on the Technical Instructions
and is updated every year according to changes in the Technical Instructions and incorporates
State and Operator Variations. The IATA DGR also incorporates the classification, packing
instructions, labeling and marking of Dangerous Goods and is the main document of reference
used by Operators.
State and Operator Variations correct answers There are only two entities that can place more
restrictive rules than the Technical Instructions on the transport of Dangerous Goods; states and
, operators. These rules are called State and Operator Variations. These may have to do with limits
on the transport of specific kinds of Dangerous Goods, such as radioactive materials or dry ice,
requirements on the shipper, or the ban of certain articles such as personal transportation devices.
Training correct answers Operators must establish and maintain training programs that cover the
regulatory requirements depending on the staff's duties. Cabin Crew will not be trained the same
way as Cargo warehouse staff or those loading Dangerous Goods on an aircraft. Staff receives
training tailored to their functions, but each staff member must receive training and be familiar
with Dangerous Goods. This training includes familiarization with the hazards and risks
involving Dangerous Goods and how to respond to incidents involving Dangerous Goods. The
cabin crew should also be familiar with how Dangerous Goods may be carried as baggage.
Dangerous Goods training must be approved by the Authority and each staff member must
receive recurrent training every two years.
Even though an operator may only transport passengers, not cargo, their staff must be trained in
Dangerous Goods as passengers often bring Dangerous Goods in their baggage
Classification correct answers Dangerous Goods are classified based on hazard type. There are
nine hazard classes and several sub-divisions. Articles and substances may belong to more than
one hazard class, where the main hazard will be the main classification.
Class 1 - Explosives correct answers Has several divisions based on explosion hazard and
sensitivity, most forbidden for air transport. Some types of explosives are allowed as cargo. The
types of explosives we are likely to find in air transport belong to Division 1.4 as those include
emergency flares and ammunition for weapons.
Class 2 - Gases correct answers Gases have three divisions based on their properties.
2.1 - Flammable Gas: gas that is flammable such as propane, hydrogen, or hair spray
2.2 - Non-Flammable, compressed gas: gas which in itself is not dangerous, but is dangerous
because it is under pressure. If the pressure valve does not work as it should, the gas will propel
the container and can do damage to the aircraft or explode if there is fire. They may also dilute or
replace the oxygen normally in the atmosphere or provide oxygen which may contribute to an
active fire or explosion. CO2 and Oxygen tanks.
