IATA Cabin Crew & Passenger Security - Shipper's Responsibilities
Shippers must fully comply with the DGR when offering a consignment of dangerous goods, as well as any applicable regulations set forth by the States of origin, transit, and destination. A shipper who violates the regulations may be in breach of national laws and could face legal penalties.
The following specific responsibilities apply to shippers and are outlined in DGR 1.3.2:
- Ensure that all relevant employees are properly trained on preparing dangerous goods consignments, so they can safely and efficiently carry out their responsibilities.
- Establish whether an article or substance is prohibited for transport by air.
- Ensure that articles or substances are properly identified, classified, packed, marked, labeled, and documented, and are in good condition for transport, meeting all DGR requirements.
- Ensure that all cargo offered for air transport that is described as "Not restricted" or "Non-dangerous goods" does not meet any of the classification criteria for dangerous goods.
- Ensure that dangerous goods are packaged in compliance with air transport requirements.
