Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) for Handling and Loading Personnel Function in Table 7.4 Course Description

This course is recommended for ‘Personnel Responsible for Handling Cargo in a Warehouse, Loading and Unloading Unit Load Devices and Loading and Unloading Aircraft Cargo Compartments’. A safe and efficient air transport system is dependent on a competent workforce, meaning that you must be trained in the functions for which you are responsible – whether or not this is noted in your job title. IATA recognizes that this is best achieved through a Competency Based Training and Assessment approach (CBTA). This interactive course will guide you in the tasks and responsibilities to ensure that you are competent to perform your job function and be in full compliance with the regulations. It has been designed as per IATA’s DGR – section 1.5 and in accordance with function 7.4 in IATA’s ‘Dangerous Goods Training Guidance’.
