IATA DGR Class 8 Corrosives 67th
Online Training Certificate Course
From the highest rated and most trusted online training company - since 2008.
This online training course covers the unique IATA HAZMAT Class 8 requirements for air transport of corrosive substances. Corrosive materials are highly reactive liquids and solids that damage living tissue. Commonly transported Class 8 dangerous goods include battery fluid, paint, mercury barometers, drain cleaner, and photographic processing chemicals.
This safety training covers how to use the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, shipper and operator responsibilities, and the proper methods to safely identify, document, package, mark, label, handle, and load individual classes of dangerous goods. It also contains specific IATA 8 training, which takes a step-by-step approach to identifying the specific requirements for proper handling and transport of Class 8 corrosives.
Training must be provided or verified for anyone who interacts with hazardous materials at any point in the shipping and transportation process. According to Table 1.5 A of the IATA DGR, this includes operations and stations managers; regulatory compliance specialists; cargo training/development specialists; security check personnel; ground handling and load control staff involved in the cargo chain; and airline acceptance staff, shippers, packers, and freight forwarders.
Governing Regulations
IATA Class 8 Dangerous Goods Regulations govern the transport of corrosive items by air. This online certification course satisfies air carrier compliances as 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 should consider purchasing the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) Manual both for reference purposes in your day to day shipping operations, and while taking this course. Specific guides are also available for Battery Shipping Regulations and other topics.
