IATA DGR Class 5 Oxidizing Substances & Organic Peroxides

Shipping Oxidizing Substances and Organic Peroxides by Air

Online Training Certification Course

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

This online training course covers the specific requirements for proper handling and transport of IATA HAZMAT Class 5 materials. Class 5 dangerous goods are oxidizing substances and organic peroxides that cause or enhance fire, explosion, and combustion hazards.

Many everyday items are considered Class 5 substances, such as hydrogen peroxide, pool chlorine, bleach, curing agents, polyester resin kits, and more. IATA Class 5 training ensures hazardous materials are transported safely. This protects everyone in the supply chain, as well as the general public, property, and environment.

This course is for:
Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations requires safety training for every employee involved in handling, packing, labeling, and documenting dangerous goods for transport. According to the IATA DGR, IATA Class 5 certification must be provided or verified for all personnel as identified in Table 1.5 A. This includes airline acceptance staff, shippers, packers, and freight forwarders; cargo training and development specialists; ground handling and load control staff involved in the cargo chain; regulatory compliance specialists; operations and station managers; and security screeners.

Case Study: A Boeing 777-220 passenger plane crashed into the Indian Ocean on March 8, 2014, when it was traveling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. The flight MH370 was operated by Malaysia Airlines. As a result of the crash 227 passengers and 12 crew died. Following the accident, three committees were formed in line with ICAO protocol. These committees investigated airworthiness, flight operations, and medical or human factors that may have contributed to the crash. The plane was carrying lithium batteries, but the batteries were packed according to Dangerous Goods guidelines. The plane had also diverted from the flight path for an unknown reason. Investigators did not find a decisive reason for the crash, but one theory is that the lithium batteries may have caused a fire that overwhelmed the plane’s fire suppression system.

Key Takeaway: As a result of this accident, investigators recommended enhanced security measures for reviewing cargo before it is loaded onto a plane.

Governing Regulations

The U.S. Department of Transportation and international regulatory agencies govern the handling and transport of the nine classes of dangerous goods. Shipping oxidizing substances and organic peroxides by air is controlled by the IATA Class 5 Dangerous Goods Regulations. This online certification course satisfies all air carrier requirements for proof of IATA Class 5 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.
