Who needs employee DG HAZMAT for air transport training?

DG HAZMAT for air transport employee course training is required for all employees involved in the shipment of dangerous goods or hazardous materials (HAZMAT) by air, or road must comply with international standards like the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) and the IMDG Code. These international standards apply in addition to the US DOT’s Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR). International Organizations such as ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) and IATA have created standards within the US DOT HMR.

Who writes the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations?

The International Air Transport Association (IATA), a trade association of air carriers, has based its regulations on rules developed by ICAO. The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) incorporate the technical instructions required by ICAO Technical Instructions and air carrier-specific requirements. Most air carriers will not accept dangerous goods shipments that do not meet these additional restrictions making the IATA-approved training programs required for handling hazardous materials shipped by air. Therefore, IATA rules are the ones air shippers must comply with for most of the world’s airlines. Those airlines that are not IATA members can accept IATA training instead of applying their own. The US DOT accepts hazardous materials shipped under IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations for any shipments traveling by air. BROWSE BUTTERFLY TRAINING’S IATA TRAINING

How often is Dangerous Goods Training Required?

The IATA employee dangerous goods training requires recurrent training at least every 24 months.  [IATA 1.5.0.3] This deadline is not enforced by US DOT; airline IATA members can only accept your dangerous goods shipments if you have received training within the previous 24 months.

Violation Costs for Compliance Failures

Training violations incur a minimum penalty of more than $500 per person per day [49 CFR 107.329(a)].
