for the loading of dangerous goods on board aircraft
(category 10 from the IATA DGR Table 1.5.A. all of these
personnel need to have a knowledge and understanding
of dangerous goods, their potential hazards and the
procedures applicable to the transport of dangerous
goods by air.

DGR updated’21 2
Course Objectives

At the end of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Identify the dangerous goods;
• Have knowledge of the origin of the current regulations and be aware
of general philosophy;
• Able to refer to the List of Dangerous goods;
• Recognize the hazard/handling label applicable to dangerous goods;
• Identify the dangerous goods package use and package
specification marks;
• Identify the hidden hazards in cargo;
• Loading and storage procedures;

5.1. General

Marks and labels indicates the general purposes:

• Indicate the contents of the packages,

• The packaging meets approved standards;
• Provide safe handling and stowage information;
• Indicates the nature of hazards.

DGR updated’21 41
5.2. Marking

For each package and overpack containing dangerous goods

that requires marking, the shipper must:
• Check the required marks are applied in the correct locations
on the package and that it meets the quality and
specification requirements of the regulations;
• Ensure the specification packaging is required, the
specification marks are as specified;
• Remove or obliterate any irrelevant marks;
• Ensure that all of the required marks have been applied when
the package is presented to the operator.

DGR updated’21 42
 As a minimum each package or overpack containing dangerous goods
must be clearly marked to
show:
• the proper shipping name(s);
• the applicable UN or lD Numbe(s); and
• the full name and address of the shipper and the consignee (DGR 7.1.4.1
(a) & (b) ).
Example:
1 package contains:

Proper shipping name : Paint

• The shipper is responsible for labelling a package or

overpack containing dangerous goods (DGR 7.2.1);
• The operator is responsible only for replacing labels that
become detached or unidentifiable.

6.3. Loading

DGR updated’21 62
6.1. General

• When loading of dangerous goods, the loader must be

carefully. Package containing dangerous goods may reach
dangerously with each other.
• Incompatible dangerous goods should also be segregated
during acceptance, handling and loading (DGR Table 9.3.A)
• UN 3528:
• Engine, internal combustion, flammable liquid powered,
• Engines, fuel cell, flammable liquid powered,
• Machinery internal combustion;. They may NOT be
segregated with Division 5.1

DGR updated’21 63
Notes:
1. An "x" at the intersection of a row and a column indicates that packages containing these
classes/Diisions of dangerous goods must be segregated. A "-" at the intersection of a row and a
column indicates that packages containing these class/divisions of dangerous goods do not require
segregation.
2. Divisions 1.45, 4.1 and Class 6, 7 and 9 are not included in Table 9.3.A as they do not require
segregation from other classes of dangerous goods.

the nearest inside surface of the floor of the aircraft cabin.
lf the height of package 1 is 50 cm, then the cargo
compartment must be at least 1.65 m high. i.e. 1.15 m +50

 Procedures for Flight Crew

The ICAO Emergency Response Gide (red book) details them as:
• Follow aircraft emergency procedures for fire or smoke removal;
• “No Smoking Sign ON”;
• Consider landing as soon as possible;
• Consider turning off non-essential electrical power;
• Determine source of smoke/fire/fumes;
• For dangerous goods incidents in the passenger cabin, see cabin
crew checklist and coordinate cockpit/cabin crew actions;
• Determine emergency drill code (from NOTOC where available or
from “red book”);
• Use guidance emergency response drills chart (see 8.7 for example)
to help with incident; and
• If the situation permits, notify ATC of the dangerous goods being
carried.

DGR updated’21 77
 After landing:

• Disembark passengers and crew before opening

any cargo compartment doors;
• Inform ground personnel/emergency service of
nature and location of dangerous goods; and
• Make appropriate entry in maintenance log.

• Avoid contact with the contents of the package;
• If contents come in contact with body or clothes:
• Thoroughly wash off body with plenty of water;
• Removed contaminated clothes;
• Keep hands away from eyes, mouth and nose;
