IATA DGR Class 3 Flammable Liquids

Shipping Flammable Liquids and Liquid Desensitized Explosives by Air

Online Training Certification Course

From the highest rated and most trusted online training company - since 2008.

IATA Class 3 training is critically important for ensuring the proper handling of these dangerous goods. Shippers and operators must be IATA certified and trained in the proper methods to safely identify, document, package, mark, label, handle, and load individual classes of dangerous goods.

Shipping flammable liquids by air can have catastrophic consequences if these dangerous materials are not packaged and handled properly. IATA HAZMAT Class 3 substances present fire and explosion hazards, as well as toxic effects from inhalation or contact with skin. This online training course takes a step-by-step approach to identifying the specific requirements for proper handling and transportation of flammable liquids and liquid desensitized explosives.

This course is for:
Safety training is required for all personnel who can impact the safe transport of hazardous materials. This includes airline cargo acceptance staff, packers and freight forwarders, shippers, cargo training and development specialists, regulatory compliance specialists, ground handling and goods control staff involved in the cargo chain, security screeners, and operations and station managers.

Case Study: A cargo plane crashed on July 28, 2011, into the ocean off the coast of Jeju, South Korea. Before the accident, pilots on the plane signaled for help. The plane was carrying 58 tons of cargo. 0.4 tons of the cargo was considered potentially dangerous and included lithium batteries, paint, amino acid solution, and synthetic resin. Following the accident, the Aviation and Railway Investigation Board (ARAIB) investigated the crash and determined a fire near pallets of dangerous goods caused the fuselage to separate from the plane, leading to the accident. It was also determined that Class 3 and Class 9 flammable goods were onboard. The cargo compartment was also not equipped with an active fire suppression system.

Key Takeaway: It is important to properly segregate dangerous goods when loading cargo onto an airplane. Loading personnel must be trained to properly manage dangerous goods when loading aircraft. And aircrafts should be equipped with fire safety systems.

Governing Regulations

The current edition of the IATA DGR governs the shipping of flammable liquids and liquid desensitized explosives by air. This online certification course satisfies all air carrier requirements for proof of training, including FedEx and UPS.

If you are also shipping other classes of dangerous goods you must take our full IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations training course in place of this one.

If you do not have a copy, you will need to purchase the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) Manual both for reference purposes in your day to day shipping operations, and while taking this course.

You can access the IATA DGR Current Edition Significant Changes document from our "Resources" section.
