- Dangerous goods are items or substances that when transported by aircraft are a risk to health, safety, property, or the environment.
- These include obvious things, such as explosives, radioactive materials, flammable liquids, dangerous or volatile chemicals, strong acids, compressed gases, poisons, and aerosols. Sometimes they do not appear so obvious.
- If you would like to become a Pilot, a Flight Attendant, a Baggage handler, check-in staff member or a loader, it is important that you have an understanding of what these Dangerous Goods are.
- This course will help you recognize and identify them if and when they are presented for transport on your aircraft so that you can take appropriate action.
