Full course name: Personnel Responsible for Accepting Passenger and Crew Baggage
Dangerous goods are commodities that can be dangerous in specific circumstances. These materials may be transported by air only when they are properly identified, packed, marked, and labeled according to international and national regulations. Dangerous goods consist not only of obvious substances such as corrosives, explosives, and flammables but also include less apparent articles like thermometers, refrigerants, and some everyday household items such as aerosols, perfumes, and cleaning detergents.
European and international legislation requires that all aviation staff, whether directly or indirectly involved in the transport of goods classified as dangerous goods, receive training appropriate to their functions. This training course covers those staff members whose functions require them to receive Dangerous Goods Awareness training regularly. The scope and content of SofemaOnline training courses are defined in national law.
