Shippers who transport hazardous materials by air are subject to different regulations than those who ship only by ground or vessel. Failure to comply with the standards set forth by the International Air Transport Association, which requires training every 24 months (IATA 1.5), can result in rejected shipments, costly delays, injury to passengers and personnel, and emergency landings. (See IATA Training FAQ.)
This one-day workshop is designed to meet the training requirement for air shippers at IATA 1.5. Using their existing 49 CFR knowledge as a foundation, students will learn how to navigate the IATA DGR, their additional air shipping responsibilities, and how 49 CFR and IATA rules work together. This workshop includes in-depth exercises to reinforce the content and illustrate the real-world applications of the regulations. Students who complete this workshop will be prepared to classify, name, package, and label hazardous material for shipment by air, as well as complete hazmat shipping documentation.
Registration includes Lion's top-notch compliance references, certification, regulatory updates, plus 365 days of complete follow-up support.
