IATA DGR Class 2 Gases 67th
Online Training Certificate Course
From the highest rated and most trusted online training company - since 2008.
The IATA DGR identifies nine classes of dangerous goods. Class 2 dangerous goods are gases, which are divided into three classifications: flammable, non-flammable/non-toxic, and toxic. This online training course presents important safety information for any worker who handles or ships Class 2 gases.
IATA Class 2 training ensures that employees know the proper methods to identify, handle, package, and ship Class 2 dangerous goods. Gases are capable of posing serious hazards due to their flammability, their potential as asphyxiants, their ability to oxidize, and their toxicity or corrosiveness. Common items such as lighters, aerosols, and oxygen canisters can cause fires, explosions, and other violent reactions if they are not handled with care.
All HAZMAT employees must receive safety training that includes general awareness, function-specific, safety, and security-awareness topics. IATA HAZMAT Class 2 training is required for all personnel responsible for the safe transport of hazardous materials. According to IATA DGR Table 1.5 A, 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.
