IATA DGR Class 6 Toxic & Infectious Substances plus Dry Ice 67th

This online certification course provides required safety training for handling and transport of IATA DGR Class 6 dangerous goods and Class 9 dry ice.
Class 6 includes toxic and infectious substances, which can be among the most dangerous goods if not handled correctly. Dry ice, the solid form of carbon dioxide, is a Class 9 dangerous good. It is commonly used in the shipment of toxic or infectious substances that have specific temperature requirements that must be maintained. IATA dry ice training ensures packing guidelines are met to reduce the risk of explosion, suffocation, and contact hazards. Course topics for shipping dry ice training are specific to its use as a refrigerant for the shipping of Class 6 materials.

All personnel as identified in Table 1.5 A of the DGR must be trained and IATA certified before handling hazardous materials for air transport. 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.
IATA clinical training covers pre-transport functions for shipping Class 6 infectious materials. This may apply to employees at hospitals, medical clinics, labs, and other facilities that handle or transport biohazards. IATA infectious shipping regulations apply to several commonly shipped goods, including medical waste, blood samples, used needles, laboratory cultures, and any substance with the potential to cause transmissible diseases. IATA toxic shipping provisions apply to anyone involved in the handling, packaging, and transport of toxic materials. This includes air shipments of insecticides, pesticides, tear gas, and lead-based compounds.
