DANGEROUS GOODS

BY AIR

COSCAP-SOUTH ASIA


DEFINITIONS:ARTICLES OR SUBSTANCES WHICH

ARE CAPABLE OF POSING A SIGNIFICANT RISK TO HEALTH,SAFETY OR PROPERTY WHEN TRANSPORTED BY AIR.

1


A DANGEROUS GOOD IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE:

IT CAN START A FIRE

IT CAN HELP SPREADING A FIRE

CAN CAUSE INJURY THROUGH CONTACT AND RADIATION

CONTD. 2


CAN PROJECT PIECES INJURING PERSONS AND DAMAGING AIRCRAFT.

IT CAN RELEASE TOXIC VAPOUR ON ITS OWN OR COMING IN CONTACT WITH OTHER SUBSTANCES WHICH CAN AFFECT CREW PHYSICALLY AND PSYCHOACTIVELY.

IT CAN REACT WITH AIRCRAFT MATERIAL 3

Dangerous Goods TransportationDEFINITIONS EXPLOSIVE SUBSTANCE A SOLID OR LIQUID SUBSTANCE( OR A

MIXTURE) WHICH IS IN ITSELF CAPABLE BY CHEMICAL REACTION OF PRODUCING GAS AT A TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE AND AT SUCH A SPEED AS TO CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SURROUNDING 7


DEFINITIONS CONTD

GASES:A GAS IS A SUBSTANCE WHICH AT

500 C HAS A VAPOUR PRESSURE GREATER THAN 300 kPa OR

IS COMPLETELY GASEOUS AT 200C AT A STANDARD PRESSURE OF 101.3 kPa.

8

Dangerous Goods TransportationDEFINITIONS:FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS ARE LIQUIDS OR

MIXTURE OF LIQUIDS CONTAINING SOLIDS IN SOLUTION OR SUSPENSION WHICH GIVE OFF A FLAMMABLE VAPOUR AT TEMP. OF NOT MORE THAN 60.50 C CLOSED-CUP TEST OR NOT MORE THAN 65.6 0 C OPEN CUP TEST NORMALLY REFERRED TO AS FLASH POINT 9

Dangerous Goods TransportationDEFINITIOINS:FLAMMABLE SOLIDS:

SOLIDS WHICH, UNDER CONDITIONS ENCOUNTERED IN TRANSPORT ARE READILY COMBUSTIBLE OR MAY CAUSE OR CONTRIBUTE TO FIRE THROUGH FRICTION; SELF REACTIVE AND RELATED SUBSTANCES WHICH ARE LIABLE TO UNDERGO A STRONGLY EXOTHERMIC REACTION; DESENSITISED EXPLOSIVES WHICH MAY EXPLODE IF NOT DILUTED SUFFICIENTLY 10

Dangerous Goods TransportationDEFINITIONS:FLAMMABLE SOLIDS ……..CONTD.

SUBSTANCES WHICH ARE LIABLE TO SPONTANEOUS HEATING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS ENCOUNTERED IN TRANSPORT OR TO HEATING UP IN CONTACT WITH AIR, AND BEING THEN LIABLE TO CATCH FIRE

11


FLAMMABLE SOLIDS CONTD.

SUBSTANCES WHICH, IN CONTACT WITH WATER, EMIT FLAMMABLE GASES….. SUBSTANCE WHICH, BY INTERACTION WITH WATER, ARE LIABLE TO BECOME SPONTANEOUSLY FLAMMABLE OR TO GIVE OFF FLAMMABLE GASES IN DANGEROUS QUANTITIES. 12


DEFINITIONS OXDISING SUBSTANCES;A) SUBSTANCES WHICH IN

THEMSELVES NOT NECESSARILY COMBUSTIBLE,MAY GENERALLY, BY YIELDING OXYGEN, CAUSE OR CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMBUSTION OF OTHER MATERIAL. 13

THERMALLY UNSTABLE SUBSTANCES LIKE ORGANIC PEROXIDES WHICH MAY UNDERGO EXOTHERMIC, SELF ACCELERATING DECOMPOSITION. THEY MAY ALSO

BE LIABLE TO EXPLOSIVE DECOMPOSITIONBURN RAPIDLYBE SENSITIVE TO IMPACT OR FRICTIONREACT DANGEROUSLY WITH OTHER SUBSTANCESCAUSE DAMAGE TO THE EYES

14



DEFINITIONS CONTD

TOXIC AND INFECTIOUS SUBSTANCES:TOXIC SUBSTANCES:SUBSTANCES LIABLE EITHER TO CAUSE DEATH OR INJURY OR TO HARM HUMAN HEALTH IF SWALLOWED ,IF INHALED OR BY SKIN CONTACT.

INFECTIOUS SUBSTANCE:SUBSTANCES KNOWN TO CONTAIN, OR REASONABLY EXPECTED TO CONTAIN, PATHOGENS. 15


DEFINITIONRADIOACTIVE MATERIAL:

ANY MATERIAL WITH A SPECIFIC ACTIVITY GRATER THAN 70 kBq/Kg.(2 nCi/g)

16


DEFINITIONS:CORROSIVES:

SUBSTANCES WHICH, IN THE EVENT OF LEAKAGE, CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE BY CHEMICAL ACTION WHEN IN CONTACT WITH LIVING TISSUE OR CAN MATERIALLY DAMAGE OTHER FREIGHT OR THE MEANS OF TRANSPORT. 17


DEFINITIONS CONTD

MISCELLANEOUS DANGEROUS GOODS:ARTICLES AND SUBSTANCES WHICH DURING AIR TRANSPORT PRESENT A DANGER NOT COVERED BY OTHER CLASSES. E.XAMPLE: MAGNETISED MATERIAL, I.C ENGINES,SELF INFLATING LIFE SAVING APPLIANCES(AIR BAGS),BATTERY POWERED EQUIPMENT OR VEHICLE,ASBESTOS,DRY ICE ETC. 18


EVERY POSSIBLE CHEMICAL COMPOUND ORGANIC OR INORGANICHAVE BEEN LISTED IN THE ICAO DOC 9284. AND IDNTIFIED BY A UN No-

THESE UN No.s ARE UNIVERSALLY ACCEPTED SO THAT TRANSPORTATION TO,FROM AND THROUGH ANY COUNTRY IS POSSIBLE WITHOUT CHANGE OF LABEL AND PACKING 19


MANY ITEMS ARE FORBIDDEN BY AIR, AS PER ICAO LISTING.

ON TOP OF THAT, STATE OR INDIVIDUAL AIRLINE MAY HAVE THEIR VARIATION OR SPECIAL OPTION

20


CHAPTER 2-11 IN ICAO DOC 9284 LISTS ALL CHEMICALS PERMITTED BY AIR OR OTHERWISE. THE LIST INCLUDES:

NAME OF CHEMICAL; UN.No. ; CLASS OR DIVISION; SUBSIDIARY RISK; LABELS ; STATE VARIATIONS; SPECIAL PROVISIONS; U.N.PACKING GROUP.; PACKING INSTRUCTION AND MAX.NET QTY PER PACKAGE FOR PAX A/C AND PACKING INSTRUCTION AND MAX NET QTY PER PACKAGE ON CARGO ONLY AIRCRAFT

21

Dangerous Goods TransportationPACKAGING, INCLUDING THEIR

CLOSURES,USED FOR THE TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOODS IN ACCEPTED QUANTITIES MUST BE OF GOOD QUALITY. PACKAGING MATERIALWHICH MAY COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE SUBSTANCE OR ARTICLE MUST NOT REACT DANGEROUSLY WITH THE SUBSTANCE OR ARTICLE AND MUST NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT ITS PACKAGING FUNCTIONS.

22


PACKAGING IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR.IT MAKES OTHERWISE DANGEROUS GOOD TRANSPORTABLE.

PACKAGING CAN BE COMBINATION OR SINGLE.MATERIAL OF CONTAINER CAN BE

DIFFERENT.EACH PACKAGE HAS A DESIGN CODE AND HAS TO MEET RIGOROUS TEST REQUIREMENT INCLUDING DROP TEST

23


CARRIAGE OF DANGEROUS GOOD BY AIR NEED SPECIAL APPROVAL FROM THE AUTHORITY OF CONTROL FOR THE OPERATOR.

PRE REQUISIT FOR APPROVAL IS TRAINING OF PERSONNEL IN EVERY FIELD OF AVIATION

24

Dangerous Goods TransportationFOLLOWING STAFF MEMBERS SHOULD

BE TRAINED:SHIPPERS AND THEIR AGENTSPACKERS.CARGO ACCEPTING PERSONNEL /

APPROVED AGENTS.SECURITY PERSONNEL SCREENING

BAGGAGELOAD PLANNERS CONTD 25


BAGGAGE HANDLERS AT STORES,TARMAC AND AIRCRAFT

PERSONNEL AT CHECK IN COUNTERS

FLIGHT CREW

CABIN ATTENDANTS. 26


IN CASE OF DANGEROUS GOODS IGNORANCE IS NO BLISS

COMPLETE KNOWLEDGE AND METICULOUS OBSERVANCE OF PROCEDURE CAN PREVENT UNTOWARD INCIDENT IN AIR. 27


IN CASE OF SPILLAGE, BREAKAGE OR LEAKAGE FOLLOW ICAO DOC 9481-AN /928 “ EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDANCE FOR AIRCRAFT INCIDENTS INVOLVING DANGEROUS GOODS”

ALLOWABLE DANGEROUS GOODS ARE NOT DANGEROUS WHEN CARRIED IN RECOMMENDED PACKAGE IN ACCEPTED QUANTITY. 28

IN CASE OF SPILLAGE IN CARGO HOLD IDENTIFY SPECIFIC CARGO BY LABEL AND UN No.

HANDLE ONLY AS PER DRILL GIVEN IN “EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDANCE …ICAO DOCUMENT 9481.

INCASE OF SPILLAGE OF DRY POWDER DO NOT BLOW COMPRESSED AIR 31


WHEN IN DOUBT TAKE IT OUT 32
