This online training course covers the specific requirements for handling and transporting IATA HAZMAT Class 1 dangerous goods. Class 1 items include explosive substances and articles. These items are grouped into six subdivisions based on their explosive characteristics and the type of hazards they present.

The handling and transport of Class 1 items is tightly regulated, and all involved personnel must undergo IATA explosives training. This safety training covers how to use the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, shipper and operator responsibilities, and the proper methods to safely identify, document, package, mark, label, handle, and load individual classes of dangerous goods.

If you do not have a copy, you should consider purchasing the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) Manual both for reference purposes in your day to day shipping operations, and while taking this course. Specific guides are also available for Battery Shipping Regulations and other topics.
