Chapter 1- General

1.1 Introduction

Safety audit is carried out to monitor the fulfillment of the safety performance of organizations. It is a core activity of the safety management system.

Dangerous goods Safety Audits are used to ensure compliance with the Dangerous Goods Handling Regulations promulgated and approved by CAAN including the provisions of the ICAO Annex-18: Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air (Doc 9284 AN/905), which mentions that each contracting State shall establish inspection, surveillance and enforcement procedures with a view to achieving compliance with its dangerous goods regulations.

This manual has been designed to help the dangerous goods inspectors to implement the regulations of CAAN and Annex 18: Technical Instructions for the transport of dangerous goods by air. It provides policies, procedures and guidelines to inspection program by bringing about uniformity in the auditing process. This manual has been developed for the inspection of operators and handling agents, shippers and freight forwarders, designated postal authorities, and agencies /organizations /entities involved in civil air transport.

Dangerous goods Safety audits are performed regularly by the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal to ensure auditing of all relevant functional areas of the organization as a part of the total evaluation of the overall safety performance system. It includes detailed review of the safety performance, procedures and practices of the relevant units or sections of the organizations responsible fully or in part with overseeing the carriage of items of dangerous goods by passengers and/or handling them, and arrangements of handling foreseeable emergencies. This manual attempts to prevent and/or minimize the dangers occurring out of the transport of dangerous goods by outlining relevant procedures.

1.2 International Regulation

i) International Civil Aviation Organization, Annex 18 Annex 18 to the Chicago Convention was developed to provide an internationally agreed upon set of provisions for the transport of dangerous goods by air in response to the demand made by the contracting States. These provisions are based upon the Recommendations of the United Nations Sub-committee of Experts (UNScoE) for the transport of dangerous goods and the Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material of the International Atomic Energy Agency. All amendments to Annex 18 are approved by the ICAO Council following a recommendation from the Dangerous Goods Panel of the Air Navigation Commission and in consultation with the States.

Chapter 5 - Inspection Program

5.0 Initial Inspection

An initial inspection is carried out before granting permission to the operator for transport of dangerous goods. The initial inspection is done mainly to determine whether the procedures established by the operator to handle, offer for transport or transport dangerous goods are commensurate with the ICAO Technical Instructions and the requirements of the CAAN. It also examines the arrangements made by the operator with the handling agent(s), if applicable, the contents of the Operations Manual/DG Manual or other staff instruction documents regarding information to the staff concerned and the provisions of training to them.

During the initial inspection, the operator’s application to transport Dangerous Goods in normal or special circumstances, Operations Manual/DG Manual and other staff instruction documents and approval of Training programs are inspected.

5.1 Inspection for granting an authorization to transport Dangerous Goods in normal or special circumstances

The safety of the flights can be enhanced if authorizations, approvals and exemptions in normal and specialized circumstances are granted to the operators as it enables us to exercise control over the transport of dangerous goods and aids enforcement activities.

The CAAN will grant authorization for the transport of dangerous goods in normal circumstances to those dangerous goods which are not indicated as forbidden for transport on passenger and cargo and cargo aircraft by the Technical Instructions. The CAAN will grant such authorization on the basis of the procedures established by the operators that are in conformity with the requirements of the Technical Instructions and the DGHR of CAAN. The approvals or exemptions may be granted by the Director General for the transport of certain dangerous goods which are normally forbidden on passenger aircraft and/or cargo aircraft as provided by Special Provision A1, A2.

The operator will have to send an application to the Flight Safety Standards Department at least 2 weeks in advance of their intention to transport dangerous goods for an authorization in normal circumstances. In special circumstances, such authorizations may be granted on short notices provided that sufficient time is available for processing an application. (Refer Checklist- 16)

In case of extreme urgency or when other forms of transport are inappropriate or full compliance with the prescribed requirements is contrary to the public interest, the Director General may grant exemptions as applicable, provided that every effort shall be made to achieve an overall level of safety in transport which is equivalent to the level of safety provided for by the Technical Instructions. For the


23 April 2017


State of over fly, if none of the criteria for granting an exemption are relevant, an exemption may be granted based solely on the belief that an equivalent level of safety in air transport has been achieved. Such approvals or exemptions will usually be valid only for short periods, for a single flight or short series of flights. However, it may be granted for longer periods, if required.

The Technical Instructions also provides certain criteria for granting approvals by the state of origin for the carriage of dangerous goods which are forbidden in normal circumstances on either passenger and cargo aircraft or cargo aircraft. The approval shall be granted if the methods of packing and the quantity per package are in accordance with the provisions laid down in the Technical Instructions. These conditions should be stated on the approval document. Such approvals are usually issued for shorter periods, for a single flight or for certain series of flights and can be extended for longer periods if need arises.

This application should contain:

i. General information on procedures of the operator, ii. Content of the Dangerous Goods Operations Manual, (Section 5.2) and iii. Content of the Dangerous Goods Training Programs for each category of

personnel (Section 5.3).

Whenever there occurs changes in any of the conditions of an approval or exemption, such conditions shall be revised accordingly.

(Refer Appendix "5A and 6 of DGHR" )

5.2 Operations Manual/DG Manual and other staff instructions inspection

As required by the AOCR, and the Technical Instructions, the air operators must provide procedures and information, in their Operations Manual/DG Manual for the benefit of the flight crew and all those involved in the transport of dangerous goods for activities necessary to meet their responsibilities and the actions to be taken in the event of dangerous goods incident.

The inspection of the Operations Manual/DG Manual is aimed at determining adequacy, completeness and updated information along with the retention of a copy of the manual or other instructions concerning the operator’s policy and procedures.

The Operations Manual/DG Manual of the operator must be checked to ensure that it contains information about the policy of the operator with regard to dangerous goods, the policy for the transport of COMAT (company material, spare parts) and instructions about the carriage of passengers with dangerous goods.

The initial inspection of the Operations Manual/DG Manual and other staff instruction documents must be made by CAAN before granting approval for the transport of dangerous goods and periodic inspections must follow to check modifications or revisions to the procedures or regulation. (Checklist- 2 & Checklist - 26)


Effective Date: April 04, 2021

Dangerous Goods Inspector Manual VOL. 1 5.3 Inspection of Training programs

Inspection of the Initial and re-current dangerous goods training programmes shall be established and maintained by or on behalf of the following entities will be carried out.

i. shippers of dangerous goods including packers and persons or organizations undertaking the responsibilities of the shippers.

ii. Air Operators.

iii. Ground Handling agencies which perform on behalf of the operators, the act of accepting, handling, loading, unloading, transferring or other processing of cargo.

iv. Ground handling agencies located at an airport which perform, on behalf

of the operator, the act of processing passengers. v. Agencies, not located at an airport, which perform, on behalf of the

operator, the act of checking in passengers.. vi. Freight forwarders, and

vii. Agencies engaged in the security screening of passengers and baggage

and cargo. viii. Designated Postal Operators

5.3.1 Approval of Training programs

The operator must obtain approval for both initial and recurrent dangerous goods training programs for all categories of staff from CAAN. The Technical Instructions and DGHR of CAAN has set out the minimum training areas required to be completed by various categories of employees involved in the handling, offering or transporting of dangerous goods to meet their assigned duties and responsibilities. The inspection should check that the training meets the requirements of the Technical Instructions. (Refer Checklist 4 A, 4B and 4C)

The operational and ground staff involved in dealing with passengers and their baggage must also complete dangerous goods training as per the requirements of the Technical Instructions depending upon their job functions even if they do not transport dangerous goods.

The training programs of the operator must be inspected to verify the training curricula and that the operator’s staff must also receive training commensurate with their job responsibilities. (Refer Checklist 3)

5.3.2 Inspection of Training courses

Inspection of the training courses is important to verify that the training has been given to the staff. It should cover all relevant aspects depending on the job responsibilities of the staff. The Inspector should attend the delivery of the training courses to assess their effectiveness and suitability and grant an approval if the programs meet the requirements of the Technical Instructions. A


23 April 2017


record of the approval of the training courses of the operator must be maintained including the following information.

i. Name and address of the operator ii. Date of issuance, renewal or cancellation of the approval iii. Type of training program (Category of personnel involved) iv. Registration number

The validity of the approval of the training programs shall continue until such time when there occurs an operational change which may affect the handling of the dangerous goods or amendments in the regulations that may require review or revision in the programs. (Refer Checklist- 5 and 6)

5.3.3 Approval Letter

The inspector will grant an approval if the training programs meet the requirements of Technical Instructions after the completion of the initial inspection.

A specimen of the Training programs approval letter is attached in Checklist- 17.

5.4 Periodic Inspections The Formal Periodic Inspections will be carried out annually because of the number and size of the operators. The operators and the shippers or their agents will be divided into two groups. The significant aspects of the procedures and practices of the "DG CARRY" Operators and Shippers/ Freight Forwarders involved in the preparation and handling of the dangerous goods will be inspected once every twelve months and of the 'DG NO CARRY' once in a 24-month period. The inspection will encompass dangerous goods handling procedures of Operators and Shippers/ Freight Forwarder at different areas of their operation.

The periodic inspections will be carried out to fulfill the following main objectives.

1. Assessment of the adequacy of the dangerous goods safety procedures established and maintained by the operators and the shippers.

2. Verification that the operators/shippers have updated information of their reference manuals.

3. Assessment of the conformity of the procedure, load and unload and stowage of the consignment of dangerous goods on the aircraft as per the requirements of the Technical Instructions.

5.5 Inspection of the Operators

5.5.1 Inspection of Operations Manual/DG Manual and other Staff Instruction materials

The inspection of the Operations Manual/DG Manual will be carried out to confirm whether the staff has been adequately informed about the dangerous


23 April 2017


goods handling procedures and the actions to be taken in the event of an incident and accident, and retention of a copy of the manual or other instruction materials at the handling stations. (Refer Checklist 2)

5.5.2 Inspection of Training Programs and Course Delivery

The training programs of the operators will be inspected at the time of the submission of the Operations Manual/DG Manual. After that, regular inspections of training course delivery will also be carried out to assess the conformity of the actual training courses with the established training objectives and curriculum. (Refer Checklist 4 A and 5 and 6)

5.5.3 Inspection of Staff Training records

The staff training record inspection is carried out to check that the staff of the operators or the handling agents has received training on the aspects relevant to their category and job functions as per the requirements of Annex 18, Technical Instructions and CAAN within specified periods.

A random selection of the staff covering ground staff, cockpit crew and cabin crew will be made and will be asked about the areas covered during initial and recurrent training courses. Besides, the training records of the staff will also be checked to verify what training they have taken, when it was taken and when refresher training will have to be delivered. (Refer Checklist 7)

5.5.4 Inspection of consignment at Cargo Facilities (Packages and Documents)

An external check of the packages and their relevant documents shall be carried out to ascertain compliance with the requirements. The documents comprise the air waybill, dangerous goods transport document, acceptance check list, notification to pilot-in-command and other documents as per the requirements of specific consignments.

Inspection of both the packages and documents are made to determine whether or not the operators/handling agent’s procedures are being followed. Such inspections are carried out in the operator’s or handling agent’s premises after the acceptance of the dangerous goods by the operator when they are still in the care of the operator or handling agent.

It is a good idea to inspect both export and import consignments. If an export consignment does not comply with the requirements, actions must be taken to prevent it from being loaded on the aircraft and investigation has to be made into how it was offered for transport and accepted in the state in which it was found. Besides, import consignments must also be checked to report non-compliance, if any to the State where the goods were originally loaded on an aircraft.

A check should also be carried out to find out the suitability of the handling procedures including recurrent training, acceptance procedures, notices at cargo acceptance points, loading procedures and provision of information etc.


23 April 2017


An advanced notice of the scheduled inspection should be given to the operator or the handling agent for arrangement of access to relevant areas. In some circumstances the inspection may be made without giving prior notice. In case of surprise inspections, the most senior staff or the supervisor on duty should be contacted and informed of the inspection. (Refer Checklist- 8)

5.5.5 Package Inspection

The package inspection is related with the check of the external appearance of the packages of dangerous goods currently in stock with the operator or handling agent.

The package inspection is made to check that the marking and dispatch requirements have been met, that the type of packaging used is permitted and of the correct specification and in a condition fit for transport. In no case, the package of dangerous goods is opened, except in exceptional circumstances that too, in the presence of a specialist qualified persons. After opening, the package must be restored to its original condition as before. (Refer Checklist- 8)

5.5.6 Documents inspection

The document inspection is carried out to determine, as far as possible, that all documents are completed in required manner and are accompanying the dangerous goods consignments. The information contained in the documents has to be thoroughly checked to ascertain whether they have been correctly completed or not. In case when packages are not available, a check of the retention of the document has to be made. (Refer Checklist- 8)

The following documents are to be checked for export consignments:

i. The Air Waybill ii. The Dangerous Goods Transport Document (Shippers' Declaration) iii. The Acceptance Check List iv. The Notification to pilot-in-command (NOTOC) v. Other documents as required.

(Note: A copy of the NOTOC must be retained on ground and readily accessible to the aerodromes of last departure and next scheduled arrival for each of its flight)

5.5.7 Inspection of cargo for suspected undeclared dangerous goods

Consignments of general cargo may contain items which fall under the definition of dangerous goods. The loading of such undeclared dangerous goods on the aircraft may hamper the safety of the flight as the pilot-in-command could not become aware of the potential hazards present on the aircraft.

Thus, a careful and thorough inspection of the contents of the general cargo has to be made at the cargo acceptance facilities to know what is transported and to prevent undeclared dangerous goods being carried aboard the aircraft.


23 April 2017


While making an inspection, check for hazard labels, UN packaging specification markings and any other markings and labels that corresponds with the requirements of the dangerous goods consignments and used to identify substances hazardous to health. Moreover, the documents accompanying the packages should also be checked for the identification of the hazardous contents, if any. If it is difficult to identify the dangerous goods, asking the operator or handling agent or the shipper about the contents of the package will help to identify undeclared dangerous goods, if any. The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) may also provide evidence about the dangerous goods.

5.6 Ramp Inspection (loading and stowage)

Ramp inspections are carried out to confirm that the loading and stowage of dangerous goods comply with the requirements of the Technical Instructions.

Ramp inspections are carried out at a place near or adjacent to an aircraft and in a warehouse to check if the operator has loaded the dangerous goods in the aircraft as per the principles of the Technical Instructions. It is also carried out to verify if the crew has received appropriate training and to determine that all required manuals/staff instructions etc. are up-to-date and are put on board with other required documents. Moreover, the inspection is carried out to ensure that the dangerous goods packages are properly secured to prevent movement and are stowed by maintaining segregation distances. If the consignment is for cargo aircraft only, the packages should be visible and accessible. If the consignment consists of toxic or infectious substances, they should not be loaded in close proximity to animals or foodstuffs.

During Ramp inspection, information about the training completed by the flight crew and cabin crew including the details of their last training should also be determined by talking with them. Besides, their names should also be noted and verified with the operator’s training records. A confirmation of the actions to be taken in the event of in-flight emergencies should also be obtained from both the cockpit and cabin crew to test their understanding of the emergency procedures.

The Dangerous Goods Handling Manual or Operations Manual/DG Manual or staff instruction documents of the operator should also be checked during this inspection to ensure that a copy of such manual is put aboard the aircraft. The inspection should also ensure that a copy of the ICAO Emergency Response


23 April 2017


Guidance for Aircraft Incidents Involving Dangerous Goods or CAAN document detailing emergency procedures is put aboard the aircraft. (Checklist No. -27)

In case, if non compliance is suspected and when the question of the safety of the aircraft arises, the dangerous goods should be unloaded from the aircraft, or detention of the aircraft should be considered.

5.7 Passenger Information Inspection (warning notices)

The Technical Instructions requires that the operator (or his handling agent) provide information to passengers about the types of dangerous goods that are forbidden to carry or transport aboard an aircraft. This information consists of notices displayed at various locations which warn the passengers of the items of dangerous goods prohibited in baggage.

The check is carried out at those areas in terminals where the operator (or his handling agent) issues tickets, checks in passengers and assembles them to board an aircraft. The inspection should confirm that notices are placed at the check-in desks, ticket sales desks and aircraft boarding areas.

The passenger’s tickets should also be checked to ensure that the warning materials are printed in their tickets or ticket jackets. (Refer Checklist- 9A)

In-depth Audit

The main objective of an audit is to ensure that the operator or handling agent has procedures in place to handle dangerous goods as per the requirements of the Technical Instructions. (Refer Checklist- 9)

A formal notification should be sent to the operator in advance in order to facilitate them to avail relevant records, manuals etc. before the commencement of the audit.

The checklists for Operation Manual/DG Manual inspection, staff training inspection, consignment inspection, ramp inspection and passenger information inspection should be used to determine any non-compliance on the part of the operator. In case, if the procedures are not in conformity with the CAAN directives or the Technical Instructions, revocation of the operator’s dangerous goods Authorization may be considered or an advice for revision and resubmission of the Operations Manual/DG Manual may be sent to the operator.

Debriefing

A summary of the non-compliance found during the inspection should be informed to the operator by mentioning the areas which need attention. A copy of the audit form should be given to the operator and a time period for rectification of the deficit areas should be agreed with them.

5.8 Inspection of Shippers / Agents acting on behalf of shippers

The shipper is responsible for identification, classification, packing, marking, dispatch and documentation before offering any package or overpack of dangerous goods for transport by air and must also ensure that the dangerous goods are not forbidden for transport by air.

The procedures adopted by the shippers can be determined by the inspection of the dangerous goods at their handling facilities or at the operator’s or handling agent’s premises and can be compared with the procedures as prescribed by the Technical Instructions to find out compliance.

This inspection is necessary to ensure that the shipper has classified, packaged, marked and dispatched, and has completed the dangerous goods transport document properly and the persons involved in the preparation of the shipments have received appropriate training to carry out their responsibilities.

A formal notification should be sent to the shipper in advance in order to facilitate them to avail relevant records, manuals etc. before the commencement of the audit.(Checklist 3, 4A or 4B, 8, 21A)

5.9 Inspection at Baggage Security check desks

An inspection of the Baggage Security check desk is also necessary to verify if the procedures of the security check desk are commensurate with the provisions of the Technical Instructions or not.

The main aim of this inspection is to prevent passengers from carrying or taking the items of dangerous goods that are not permitted on board an aircraft. Besides, it also enables to determine whether the security check desk staff have received appropriate training or not and understanding of the provisions applicable to the passenger or crew for carriage of dangerous goods aboard an aircraft.

5.10 Inspection of Cargo warehouse (export/Import)

Inspection of cargo warehouse is also necessary to determine the procedures for handling and storage of the dangerous goods consignments and the availability of facilities like illumination, temperature control mechanism, security and safety procedures etc.

In case if the facilities and the procedures for handling and storage are not appropriate, then it should be noted and the concerned unit should be advised of the deficiencies for required arrangements.

5.11 Inspection of Post Office (export/Import)

Inspection of Post Office is also necessary to determine the procedures for handling and storage of the dangerous goods consignments and the availability of facilities like illumination, temperature control mechanism, security and safety



procedures etc. if the Post Office is approved to accept and carry dangerous goods in air mail.

In case if the facilities and the procedures for handling and storage are not appropriate, then it should be noted and the concerned unit should be advised of the deficiencies for required arrangements.

5.12. Post audit actions

5.12.1 Initial actions

During the course of an inspection, deficiencies both trivial and serious might become apparent. Whenever deficiencies are discovered, their causes should be established and appropriate decision should be taken to resolve or rectify the deficiencies. The previous recorded history of the operator regarding non-compliance or recurrence of non-compliance should be taken into account for subsequent actions on them.

5.12.2 Follow-up

If the need for a follow-up inspection is required, the operator should be informed of this and they should be given a time period to resolve the deficiencies and a follow-up audit be scheduled accordingly.

5.12.3 Preparation of inspection report and record keeping

An inspection report will be prepared and submitted to the concerned authority as soon as possible, but not later than 30 days after the inspection. The report will consists of all deficiencies identified and recorded on the inspection checklists and the actions taken or intended to be taken along with other relevant information. All relevant documents will also be attached with the report.

A letter consisting of the deficiencies should be sent to the operator/shippers or their handling agents as appropriate seeking explanation for deficiencies and/or from the offenders. Inclusion of advice or help in the letter would be a good idea.

The responses received to letters should be reviewed by the relevant inspector for completeness and authenticity. If the responses are deemed to be satisfactory, the matter can be closed. If the response is not found to be satisfactory, a letter in this regard should be sent to the respondent to seek further clarification.

In case if a respondent does not respond to requests, the inspectors should recommend appropriate actions against them and keep open the matter unless finalized.

The record of all such correspondences concerning findings and observations should be safely retained in the respective files of the respondents.


Dangerous Goods Inspector Manual VOL. 1 5.13 Other places inspection

5.13.1 Shippers Inspection

Before a person offers any package or overpack of dangerous goods for transport by air, that person shall ensure that the dangerous goods are not forbidden for transport by air and are properly classified, packed, marked, labelled and accompanied by a properly executed dangerous goods transport document.

The main purpose of inspecting shippers is to determine whether the shipper is authorized to handle dangerous goods and has procedure in place to meet the shipper's responsibilities of the Technical Instructions if so authorized. The inspection will ensure that dangerous goods are properly classified, packaged, marked and labelled, the dangerous goods transport document is properly completed and declaration signed and the persons involved in the preparation of the shipments have received training enabling them to carry out their responsibilities.

When an inspection is scheduled, adequate notice should be given to the shipper and arrangements made to meet the person responsible of the shipping. .(Checklist 3, 4A or 4B, 8, 21A)

5.13.2 On site action / Initial action findings

During an inspection deficiency with different levels of potential seriousness may become apparent. All such deficiencies, trivial or serious, must be noted irrespective of who is the perpetrator.

The cause of the deficiencies should be established. Such deficiencies may include simple administrative errors in paperwork, incorrect preparation of a consignment for transport, finding of undeclared dangerous goods, lack of training for flight crew, or an incorrect procedure. The Inspector should decide about appropriate actions relevant to the circumstances. Other factors such as previous recorded history of non-compliance and the nature and the reoccurrence of the non-compliance should be considered.

The deficiencies should be followed-up, if necessary and must be supported by documentary evidence which can be shown to the potential offender(s), demonstrating the error.

Trivial and simple deficiencies may not require any action. Inspection checklist should be fully completed to identify operator/handling agent deficiencies. Any non-compliance with legal requirements or the procedures of the operator/handling agent should be identified as a finding against the details on checklists.


Dangerous Goods Inspector Manual VOL. 1 5.14 Preparation of report and record keeping

A report should be produced within 30 days of an inspection. Before commencing on the report, all information, documents, etc, should be reviewed to ensure comprehensiveness in the report. All identified deficiencies must be recorded on the inspections checklists, as appropriate; and action taken or intended to be taken must also be recorded.

In case of an incident, take required actions. Collect all relevant documents. Include all deficiencies that are considered to be errors. Include brief detail if action has been initiated on an incident. And also attach all relevant documents to report.

Write a letter to the responsible person of the operators/handling agents to confirm the findings and observations of the inspection. For shippers and others, write a letter to the potential offender seeking an explanation. Alternatively, if all that is needed is to provide advice, this can be done without seeking an explanation. A letter must not assign blame and may offer advice or help for the future.

Ensure all outstanding follow-up action has been identified.

5.15 Follow-up

Follow-up action is to ensure that all outstanding matters on inspection reports are pursued to a conclusion. Inspection and audit reports will identify when follow-up action is required; it covers sending letters to seek action to deal with deficiencies encountered during an inspection, ensuring satisfactory responses are received.

Processing of Responses

As responses are received to letters, they are reviewed by the relevant inspector or in their absence, by another inspector. They are considered against the report/correspondence for completeness and satisfactoriness of reply. If the response is deemed to deal completely with the outstanding matter, the inspector indicates the matter to be closed.

Non-Satisfactory Responses and penalties

If the response is not considered complete or satisfactory, the inspector decides what further action to take, such as writing again to seek a further response or will initiate appropriate action to achieve compliance with the Dangerous Goods Regulations, including the prescription of appropriate penalties.


Dangerous Goods Inspector Manual VOL. 1 Closing an Outstanding Matter without Resolution

It is possible that an addressee may choose not to respond to a letter no matter how often a reply is requested. In such circumstances the inspector is to decide when it ceases to be productive to keep open an outstanding matter and close it.

Record Keeping

Letters and responses concerning findings and observations are placed on the relevant file for the operator/handling agent.



Chapter 6- Safe Working Practices

6.1 General

Incidents of dangerous goods inspections and investigations may involve taking of samples from areas where personal injury could occur unless suitable precautions are taken.

6.2 Protective Clothing and Equipment

Required items of protective clothing and equipment should be worn during inspections or investigations. Items like shoes or boots with protective toe caps, high visibility reflective tabards and jackets, reflective waterproof trousers, gloves, goggles, dust masks, hearing protectors and overalls are required to be worn according to the potential risk of the activity being undertaken.

6.3 Risk Assessment

The type and level of risk involved in such inspection or investigation has to be assessed before commencing the activity and should be reviewed at appropriate intervals in case the level of risk has changed. The Dangerous Goods Inspector must assess the risk and take the appropriate precautions to keep the risk as low as reasonably practical.

6.4 Warehouse Safety

Normally, handling agents or operators or the warehouse companies provide health and safety information to visitors who arrive at their premises. In any event, if such information are not provided, the Inspector should determine whether it is safe to enter the warehouse. Besides, shoes or boots with protective toe caps and high visibility reflective clothing must be worn. Many warehouses have specific walkways that should be used but even so, a careful watch must be kept to ensure, that maneuvering vehicles, particularly fork-lift trucks, are avoided. Other hazards that should be borne in mind are wet or slippery floors and trip hazards.

Most warehouses use racks to store freight and packages. Such racks or self have low headroom. Thus, it will be better to ask the warehouse personnel to take out the packages that has to be inspected

Hands should also be washed thoroughly as soon as possible after working in a warehouse, even if gloves were worn during the inspection.

6.5 Ramp Safety

During the inspection of the ramp, shoes or boots with protective toe caps and high visibility reflective clothing must be worn and must keep oneself clear of aircraft engines, propellers and rotor blades etc. Care must be taken to avoid maneuvering aircraft, vehicles and baggage/freight trolleys. Ear protection equipment should be worn whenever inspection is held near aircraft with engines or APUs running.


Dangerous Goods Inspector Manual VOL. 1 Exit and cargo doors are often left open. Thus, care should be taken to avoid falling down whenever inspection of the aircraft and cargo hold is in progress.

6.6 Handling Packages

During close inspection of dangerous goods packages, the packages may require to be moved. Thus, the risk to injury should be assessed before attempting to move a package which is heavy or awkward due to its size, shape or the contents' weight distribution. Consideration should also be given to maintain the correct orientation of the package at all times. Before handling a damaged package, the DG Inspector must assess whether it is safe to do so and what precautions should be taken.

6.7 Radioactive Materials

All dangerous goods have an inherent risk to health, safety or property, but use of appropriate packaging can minimize this risk to a lowest possible level during air transport provided the package remains intact. However, it will not be true in case of radioactive materials because many of them emit ionizing radiation through the packaging. To reduce the radiation dose to a lowest possible level, the member of the inspection team must not remain close to the package for long time and handling must also be to the minimum. When not working directly with the packages, as much distance as is reasonably practical must be maintained from such packages.

In case if a package of radioactive materials is suspected of not meeting all the requirements, such package should not be opened or tampered with. Besides, access to such package must be restricted and advice must be sought from the competent national authority for radioactive materials.

6.8 Opening Packages

If a dangerous goods package is suspected of not complying with the requirements, a decision to open it can be made. However, in deciding to open the package, the hazard of the contents, the location of the package and environment around the place should be considered. Protective equipment appropriate to the assessed risk must be worn. Before opening a package it may be possible to get some idea of the contents by having it x-rayed.

6.9 Taking Samples

Sometimes, samples of dangerous goods or goods suspected of being dangerous may required to be taken from the receptacles for analysis. In such cases, the complete receptacle should be taken to avoid the need to open it. However, if a sample needs to be taken from a receptacle, this should only be considered if the hazard can be correctly identified. Care must be taken to ensure there are as few persons as possible in the vicinity and that they do not touch or otherwise come into contact with the sample.


Dangerous Goods Inspector Manual VOL. 1 6.10 Contaminated Clothing and Equipment The contaminated item of clothing must be removed with care to avoid contact with the contamination. They must be appropriately disposed as quickly as possible with the help of expert's assistance depending upon the type of substance that causes the contamination.

I. All types of dangerous goods occurrence must be reported, irrespective of whether the dangerous goods are contained in cargo, mail or baggage.

2. A dangerous goods accident is an occurrence associated with and related to transport of dangerous goods which results in fatal or serious injury to a person or major property damage. For this purpose serious injury is an injury which is sustained by a person in an accident and which: (a) requires hospitalisation for more than 48 hours, commencing within 7 days from the date the injury was received; or (b) results in a fracture of any bones (except simple fractures of fingers, toes or nose); or (c) involves lacerations which cause severe hemorrhage, nerve, muscle or tendon damage; or (d) involves injury to any internal organ; or (e) involves second or third degree burns. Or any burns affecting more than 5% of the body surface; or (f) involves verified exposure to infectious substances or injurious radiation.
