NOTES:
1: Air Transport
In the year, look out for published addenda to the ICAO Technical Instructions and the IATA DGR. Also, published corrigenda to the IMDG Code/ADR/ADN/RID. You may monitor the publisher's website and request your supplier or Training Provider to share updates. Remember, the updates are legally binding, and there is no excuse for non-compliance.
The last batch of non - CBTA training certificates are due to expire on the 31st December 2024 for those who training by 31st December 2022.
If you take your course by an IATA-accredited training organisation, whether CBTA provider, CBTA Corporate or CBTA Excellence, your certificate must be co-branded (IATA + the organisation training you) and the certificate is designed and issued by IATA through the training provider.
Watch out for the scammers masquerading as approved training providers who are enemies to safety. Remember, You can only take dangerous goods training by ICAO, CAA, IATA, or their accredited/approved training providers.
2: Sea Transport
IMO publishes the IMDG Code and its supplement; however, you may purchase manuals through the IMO distributors. IMO does not approve training providers, and that is the responsibility of the IMO member states and associate members.
ANNOUNCEMENT
Are you a decision maker for the Ministry of Transport in a country without legalisation for transporting dangerous goods by road? Please get in touch and let us have a safety discussion.
States need to accord equal attention to all modes of transportation to uphold the highest level of safety performance.

Packing of Dangerous Goods and TYPE A containers!
To transport Dangerous Goods in Finland, you need to have a Dangerous Good Safety Adviser (DGSA) and a reliable package. Most commonly when transporting radioactive material, we use a TYPE A container. They usually consist of a metal or cardboard outer container lined with a protective material. They also always have a lock or some kind of seal, to ensure that the package has not been opened anywhere during transport. In this way, the leakage of the dangerous substance by the change of temperature, moisture or pressure is prevented. Did you know that we have two DGSAs to assist you with your DG transport needs?
As we are starting our business, we need a trustworthy supplier for TYPE A packages. Are you the one for us or do you know who could be?

• Dangerous Goods •
Dangerous goods are defined as articles or substances which are capable of posing a risk to health, safety, property or the environment and which are shown in the list of dangerous goods in the Technical Instructions or which are classified according to those Instructions.
Training of cabin crew members in the transport of dangerous goods are addressed in Annex 6 — Operation of Aircraft, Part I — International Commercial Air Transport — Aeroplanes and detailed training requirements are included in the Dangerous Goods Training Programme contained in Annex 18 — The Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air and the ICAO Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air (Doc 9284).
Dangerous goods are divided into nine classes (in addition to several subcategories) on the basis of the specific chemical characteristics producing the risk.
IATA works closely with local governments and ICAO in the development of regulations. This way, we ensure that the rules and guidelines on dangerous goods transport are effective and operational practical. The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) manual is the global reference for shipping dangerous goods by air and the only standard recognized by airlines.

Planes carry more than passengers and their luggage. They carry roughly half of the world’s air cargo. Over 52 million metric tons of goods per year, globally. Air cargo represents more than 35% of global trade by value, but less than 1% of world trade by volume. That’s equivalent to $6.8 trillion worth of goods annually. Or $18.6 billion worth of goods every day. Airlines have been hauling cargo underneath passengers for decades, everything from cars to medical supplies, even sharks and dangerous goods.
Dangerous goods, also known as hazardous materials, are substances or articles that pose a risk to health, safety, property, or the environment. When transported by air, there are specific regulations and guidelines that must be followed to ensure the safety of the flight, the crew, and the general public. These regulations are set by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and are implemented by individual countries through their aviation authorities. The regulations are detailed in the IATA Technical Instructions for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods by Air.
Dangerous goods are categorized into classes and divisions based on the type of risk they pose. There are nine main classes, including explosives, gases, flammable liquids, flammable solids, oxidizing substances, toxic substances, radioactive material, corrosive substances, and miscellaneous dangerous goods. Dangerous goods must be packaged in approved containers that meet certain specifications. Packaging is designed to contain the substance and prevent leakage or spillage during normal handling, transport, and potential accidents.
Packages containing dangerous goods must be labeled with specific hazard labels and marked with appropriate information. This helps identify the contents and the associated hazards.
Proper documentation is crucial for the safe transport of dangerous goods. This includes a Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods, which provides information about the nature and quantity of the goods being transported.
Airlines must be informed in advance about the presence of dangerous goods on board. This allows the airline to take necessary precautions and inform the flight crew. Personnel involved in the handling, packing, and transport of dangerous goods must undergo specialized training to ensure they are aware of the risks and proper procedures. Airlines and shippers must comply with national and international regulations regarding the transport of dangerous goods. Failure to comply can result in serious consequences, including fines and legal actions.
It's essential for companies, shippers, carriers, and personnel involved in the transportation of dangerous goods to stay informed about the latest regulations and guidelines to ensure the safe and secure transport of these materials.
