Airport DGR Training

Lesson 1 • History and Purpose of DGR

Traces the origin of dangerous goods rules from early aviation incidents to modern standards. Connects historical context to current regulatory necessity.

Lesson 2 • Consequences of Non-Compliance

Outlines penalties, enforcement actions, and safety risks resulting from DGR violations. Reinforces the professional and legal stakes of proper compliance.

Lesson 3 • Governing Bodies and Document Hierarchy

Identifies the international organisations that create and enforce DGR standards. Explains how national and operator variations layer onto the base regulations.

Lesson 1 • Classification Practical Exercises

Applies classification rules to realistic product scenarios including consumer goods and industrial chemicals. Develops speed and accuracy in class and division assignment.

Lesson 2 • Identifying Hazardous Properties

Teaches physical and chemical property assessment to determine primary and subsidiary hazards. Builds the analytical skill needed before consulting the dangerous goods list.

Lesson 3 • The Nine Hazard Classes Overview

Introduces the complete classification system and the logic behind grouping substances by primary hazard. Provides the conceptual map for all subsequent classification work.

Lesson 4 • Using the Dangerous Goods List

Guides students through the structure and columns of the official dangerous goods list. Connects list entries to packing, labelling, and quantity limits.

Lesson 1 • Quantity Limits and Excepted Quantities

Defines maximum net quantities per package for passenger and cargo aircraft. Introduces excepted quantity provisions and their marking requirements.

Lesson 2 • Special Packing Instructions

Covers packing instructions for specific classes including radioactive materials and cryogenic liquids. Connects special instructions to the dangerous goods list entries.

Lesson 3 • Packing Groups and Risk Levels

Defines packing groups I, II, and III and their relationship to hazard severity. Establishes the foundation for selecting appropriate packaging performance levels.

Lesson 4 • Combination and Single Packaging

Distinguishes combination packaging from single packaging and when each is required. Covers quantity limits and compatibility of inner and outer containers.

Lesson 1 • Label Placement and Durability

Specifies where labels must be affixed and the durability standards they must meet. Prevents common errors in label positioning and adhesion.

Lesson 2 • Mandatory Package Markings

Covers all required text markings including proper shipping name, UN number, and net quantity. Establishes the baseline marking standard for every dangerous goods package.

Lesson 3 • Special Marking Requirements

Addresses unique marking rules for radioactive materials, cryogenics, and lithium batteries. Connects special marks to their specific regulatory packing instructions.

Lesson 1 • Air Waybill and Notification Requirements

Covers how dangerous goods information transfers to the air waybill and pilot notification. Ensures the flight crew receives accurate hazard information.

Lesson 2 • Completing the Dangerous Goods Description

Teaches the precise sequence for entering UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, and quantity. Eliminates the most common declaration errors.

Lesson 3 • Acceptance Checklist Verification

Applies the operator acceptance checklist to verify shipment compliance before acceptance. Integrates all prior documentation knowledge into a practical workflow.

Lesson 4 • Shipper's Declaration Structure

Explains every field of the shipper's declaration for dangerous goods form. Builds the ability to complete and verify declarations without errors.

Lesson 1 • Loading and Stowage on Aircraft

Applies stowage rules for passenger and cargo aircraft including position and quantity limits. Ensures dangerous goods are loaded safely and accessibly for emergency response.

Lesson 2 • Handling Undeclared Dangerous Goods

Identifies indicators of undeclared or misdeclared dangerous goods in general cargo. Establishes the response protocol when hidden hazards are discovered.

Lesson 3 • Acceptance Inspection Process

Defines the step-by-step physical inspection of dangerous goods packages upon receipt. Connects inspection findings to acceptance, rejection, or quarantine decisions.

Lesson 4 • Storage Requirements and Segregation

Covers safe storage conditions, segregation distances, and incompatible goods separation. Prevents chemical reactions and fire risks in the cargo facility.

Lesson 1 • Post-Incident Reporting and Investigation

Covers mandatory reporting timelines, forms, and investigation procedures after an incident. Builds a culture of transparency and continuous safety improvement.

Lesson 2 • In-Flight Emergency Procedures

Defines crew actions when dangerous goods incidents occur during flight. Emphasises communication with ground control and use of emergency response guides.

Lesson 3 • Emergency Response Information Sources

Identifies reference documents and hotlines available during dangerous goods emergencies. Ensures responders access accurate hazard data under time pressure.

Lesson 4 • Ground Emergency Response Actions

Covers immediate actions for dangerous goods incidents in cargo facilities and ramps. Connects response steps to specific hazard classes and their properties.

Lesson 1 • Designing Effective DGR Training

Applies instructional design principles to build compliant and effective DGR training programmes. Covers content sequencing, assessment design, and delivery methods.

Lesson 2 • Quality Assurance in DGR Programmes

Establishes internal audit and quality assurance processes for ongoing DGR compliance. Connects QA findings to corrective actions and programme improvements.

Lesson 3 • Operator Compliance Obligations

Defines the full scope of operator duties under dangerous goods regulations. Establishes accountability structures from senior management to frontline staff.

Lesson 4 • Managing Regulatory Changes

Prepares operators to monitor, interpret, and implement DGR edition updates and amendments. Builds a systematic change management process for regulatory revisions.
