Posted By Diane Warne Dear all, Some departments in my organisation need to sometimes transport items classified as "dangerous goods" by air. I understand that people who consign such goods need to be trained, according to the ICAO Technical Instructions which have been implemented in UK air regulations. (I had a good look for info on the IATA regs/ICAO instructions to be sure this was right.) Does anyone have information on a reasonably-priced training course on this that they can recommend? I have found one for £330 plus VAT that is CAA and IATA approved, but would like a recommendation from someone if possible. I'm sure that the people sending this stuff are doing the right thing as regards packaging, labelling, documentation etc. - for a start FedEx won't accept it if anything's wrong - it's just that none of them have had the formal training & certification. Many thanks in advance for any help Diane

Posted By Ian Waldram I'm not an expert, but believe you have your facts correct. The issue is common for N Sea helicopter operations and so the logistics people (onshore and offshore) handling materials and flight paperwork need this type of training. Training providers in Aberdeen such as RGIT/MSTI run the course regularly. I'm sure there must be similar providers for fixed wing operations, but have no experience in that area.
