☣️ The Importance of Dangerous Goods Training in Modern Aviation
Modern aviation is built on precision, compliance, and above all — safety. One of the most critical (and often overlooked) components of air transport safety is the handling of Dangerous Goods (DG). These are materials or substances that, if not properly managed, can pose risks to health, safety, property, or the environment.
Whether it’s lithium batteries, medical oxygen, flammable liquids, or radioactive materials, strict international regulations govern how these goods are transported by air — and proper training is non-negotiable.
🧪 What Are Dangerous Goods?
According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), dangerous goods are classified into nine hazard classes, including:
- Explosives
- Gases
- Flammable liquids and solids
- Oxidizing substances
- Toxic and infectious substances
- Radioactive material
- Corrosives
- Miscellaneous dangerous substances
Even everyday items like perfumes, cleaning sprays, and power banks can be considered DG under air transport regulations.
🔍 Why Is DGR Training So Important?
Improper handling of dangerous goods can lead to:
- In-flight fires or explosions
- Delays and operational disruptions
- Regulatory violations and heavy fines
- Threats to crew, passengers, and aircraft
That’s why IATA and the Omani Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) mandate role-specific Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) training for professionals across the aviation chain — from cabin crew and dispatchers to cargo handlers and security screeners.
