1.4 The UPU developed guidance material, titled “Controlling the introduction of dangerous into postal networks”. This guidance material was created using UPU member countries best practices and the guidelines that are contained in the Supplement to the Technical Instructions (S-1;3). The French version of this guidance material is attached as annex 1, it will also be made available on the UPU website in all UPU languages.

1.5 In order to raise awareness with the public the UPU initiated a dangerous goods awareness campaign, in cooperation and co-branded with ICAO, IATA and WCO. The campaign slogan is “Keep me safe to get me there faster”. The website contains additional information on transporting dangerous goods in the post and videos. This campaign is currently available in English, French and Spanish. However, due to the response from UPU members we are currently exploring the possibility of making it available in all UPU languages. http://news.upu.int/outreach/keep-me-safe-to-get-me-there-faster/

1.6 The UPU committed to providing a centralized location for posts to report incidents involving dangerous goods in UPU mail. The UPU created a reporting format and provides an email address for the information to be sent. This information is disseminated to the operators involved and the ICAO Secretariat is notified. The UPU Secretariat reviews this information for potential systemic problems and also uses it as a learning tool. http://www.upu.int/en/activities/postal-security/dangerous-goods.html

1.7 The UPU also committed to maintaining a current list of designated operators who have been approved by their civil aviation authority to accept and ship equipment containing admissible lithium batteries. This is designed to give civil aviation authorities, airlines and other entities of the supply chain a central location to determine whether a designated operator is permitted to accept and ship these items. http://www.upu.int/fileadmin/documentsFiles/activities/postalSecurity/listAuthorizedDOsLithiumBatteriesEn.pdf

2. DISCUSSION

2.1 The DGP-WG is invited to take note of the developments by the UPU and its member countries to control the introduction of dangerous goods into postal networks and to educate customers and employees of the post.

Introduction This document is the work of the UPU Postal Security Group's dangerous goods working group. The information is provided to assist member countries and their designated operators (DOs) in protecting their postal networks from the introduction into the mail of inadmissible or undeclared dangerous goods. This is particularly important in the context of air transport, the primary transport mode of international mail. Annex 18 (Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air) of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Convention states that:

"11.4 Dangerous goods by mail Recommendation. – Each Contracting State should establish procedures with a view to controlling the introduction of dangerous goods into air transport through its postal services.

Note. – International procedures for controlling the introduction of dangerous goods into air transport through the postal services have been established by the Universal Postal Union."

While ICAO is concerned specifically with the transport of mail by air, these procedures are put in place to protect all modes of transportation, employees, customers, and all others who move mail as part of the global supply chain. The purpose of this manual is to provide guidance to designated operators for putting procedures in place to control dangerous goods, emphasize the new requirements contained in the ICAO Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air, and provide guidance to designated postal operators when meeting with their local civil aviation authorities. The Posts have a long history of transporting certain dangerous goods such as admissible patient specimens, admissible infectious substances, and admissible radioactive substances. DOs the world over have individual dangerous goods training programmes in place. The UPU's Postal Security Group has also worked for more than 15 years to raise awareness about dangerous goods among UPU member countries, and has distributed various training materials to this end. New technologies are emerging continuously, and these sometimes pose risks for air transport. Many recently developed electronic devices, for example, may not be activated during flight because of the dangers that they pose. Flammable substances like aerosols cannot be transported by airmail. Moreover, as new technologies make new products available, the risk posed by the air transport of these products multiplies. As the prices of these products come down and e-commerce grows, the demand for shipping of these products by air grows as well. This demand growth increases the risk of accidents occurring due to the inadvertent non-observation of shipping regulations. The world's Posts taken together constitute a global logistics chain that must work in close collaboration with the aviation sector. Today's aviation safety environment is more complex than in the past. If aviation safety is to be assured, Posts, too, must conform to the relevant regulations, procedures and training standards observed by other comparable logistics providers. Given the increasingly complex aviation safety environment and the increased likelihood of accidents stemming from the inadvertent non-observance of packaging and admissibility regulations across an ever-growing volume of potential dangerous goods, more systematic and structured efforts are called for to reduce the possibility of inadvertent introduction of non-permissible dangerous goods into airmail. There is a need to strengthen, adapt and standardize existing dangerous goods training programmes and procedures to control the introduction of dangerous goods into the mail. Despite the long relationship Posts have with air transport, there has traditionally been very little interaction between designated operators and their respective civil aviation authorities (CAAs). Over the years, DOs have developed individual procedures and training programmes to keep dangerous goods out of the mail. Now, however, given the more complex aviation safety environment, it is believed that more formal and structured methodologies to keep dangerous goods out of the mail have become necessary. Reflecting this need for more formal and structured methodologies, new text in section 2.4.3 of chapter 2 of the 2013–2014 version of the ICAO Technical Instructions (TIs) states the following:

"The procedures of designated postal operators for controlling the introduction of dangerous goods in mail into air transport are subject to review and approval by the civil aviation authority of the State where the mail is accepted."

6

Similarly, section 4.1 of chapter 4 of the same TIs states that initial and recurrent dangerous goods training programmes must be established and maintained by, or on behalf of, designated postal operators, and that dangerous goods training programmes must be subject to review and approval by the civil aviation authority of the State where the mail was accepted by the designated postal operator. Having procedures and training programmes in place are requirements applicable to all DOs. These requirements in the Technical Instructions are not new – they are effectively a restatement of long-standing text in chapters 10 and 11 of Annex 18 to the ICAO Convention. It is important that DOs and their national CAAs come together to discuss the business model of the Posts and to review and update existing procedures for controlling the introduction of dangerous goods and the related training programmes.

The material in this manual helps to provide guidance for the Dangerous Goods Training Programme developed in conjunction with ICAO, the International Air Transport Association (IATA), civil aviation authorities and PSG members. This manual will also serve as guidance material to assist DOs with the assessment by the CAA of their procedures for controlling the introduction of dangerous goods into air transport.

1 Controlling the introduction of dangerous goods into postal networks

Part 1, chapter 2, section 2.3, of the ICAO Technical Instructions, article RL 131 of the UPU Letter Post Regulations and article RC 119 of the Parcel Post Regulations list the dangerous goods that may be acceptable in international mail for transport by air, subject to the provisions of the appropriate national authorities, the technical instructions and UPU Regulations.

All DOs must have procedures in place for controlling the introduction of dangerous goods into the postal system and into air transport. Even if a DO chooses not to accept those dangerous goods allowed in the mail, it must still have procedures to prevent undeclared or hidden dangerous goods from entering the mail system. The Technical Instructions require the CAA to assess these procedures in cooperation with the DO.

ICAO Doc 9284, Supplement to the Technical Instructions, provides guidance material to assist states in assessing the DO's procedures for controlling the introduction of dangerous goods. It aims to help DOs meet the requirements of their respective CAAs. The ICAO guidance document lists the following procedures that the DOs should have in place in order to control the introduction of dangerous goods into air transport:

1.1 Dangerous goods training for staff

As stated earlier, the ICAO Technical Instructions now require that dangerous goods training programmes be subject to review and approval by the CAA of the state where the mail is accepted by the designated postal operator. The new instructions also state that staff of designated postal operators must be trained in line with their responsibilities. To that end, the UPU has developed a dangerous goods training programme reflecting the content of training courses outlined in table 1–6 of the Technical Instructions.

This training is a baseline programme, and the DO should meet with its local CAA to discuss the training programme. The local CAA may require more or less training depending on national legislation and the DO's operational needs.

The DO should maintain training records for its employees. The training records must be retained by the employer for a minimum period of 36 months from the most recent training completion month, and must be made available upon request to the appropriate national authority. There should be a process for refresher training every 24 months or as needed.

The training is entitled International Mailing of Dangerous Goods by Air, and the current material can be downloaded from the UPU website: www.upu.int/en/activities/postal-security/dangerous-goods/training-material.html

The training is divided into three separate programmes which follow the recommendations in table 1–6:

a Dangerous goods training for staff accepting mail.

b Dangerous goods training for staff processing mail.

c Dangerous goods training for staff handling, storing and loading mail.

Depending on the responsibilities associated with the employee's position, the number of modules differs from category to category.

Examples of possible methods for delivering training include, but are not limited to:

– Classroom training.

– Interactive video conferencing.

– Web-based training.

– Online training, local office training, etc.

– Employee meetings for security and safety of mail.

On 11 February 2013, the UPU issued letter No. 4293(DOT.PSP)1013, which provided a process for reporting dangerous goods accidents and incidents to the UPU, which would then be shared with ICAO. The country's CAA or other national authority may also have a procedure for reporting these incidents at the national level.

1.3 Reporting of hidden and undeclared dangerous goods to civil aviation authorities

The UPU's letter No. 4293(DOT.PSP)1013 provided a process for reporting discovered hidden and undeclared dangerous goods to the UPU, which would then be shared with ICAO. The country's CAA or other national authority may also have a procedure for reporting the discovery of hidden and undeclared dangerous goods at the national level.

1.4 Methods to inform postal customers of what is admissible in mail at acceptance points

DOs should have measures in place to inform the public of mailing regulations. This should include information on which dangerous goods are acceptable in mail. The information should be available at all locations where mail is deposited (i.e. post offices, street/collection boxes, contract postal units). It should be made available to customers even if a DO chooses not to accept dangerous goods. There are several different examples provided as attachments to this document. These examples are taken from other Posts, and should be adapted to the rules and regulations of the country's particular Post and national laws.

Examples:

– Warning posters about dangerous goods allowed in mail at postal facilities (official and contractedoffices).

– Customer briefings by postal representatives.

– Warning information to customers on DO websites.

– Other types of notices to customers, such as mailed warnings, advertisements, etc.


The DO should be able to show how information regarding dangerous goods in the mail is communicated to customers. This information may be provided through the DO website, direct e-mail, mailed communications, postings in external publications, or personal interactions by DO account representatives.

Examples of possible compliance measures include, but are not limited to:

– Providing information pamphlets or brochures on dangerous goods to customers on a periodic basis.

– Ongoing training efforts by the DO to inform each customer of acceptable or prohibited dangerousgoods.

– Information regarding penalties for account holders who improperly ship dangerous goods.


The DO account representative should provide material to the account customer about what can and cannot be mailed internationally.

The information provided to account customers should reference specific sections of the DO's mailing requirements or regulations. It could also reference other documentation which outlines the specific references to dangerous goods and prohibited items. These documents should be updated regularly by the DO to reflect the current regulations.

Example of contract language:

MAILABILITY AND IMPORTABILITY

All items mailed under this Agreement must conform to the mailability requirements of the designated postal operator as detailed in regulations and conform to the importation restrictions of the destination countries. The Mailer is solely responsible for the importation status of the products mailed under this Agreement.

COMPLIANCE

1 The Mailer must comply with all applicable regulations, orders and demands, and all other applicable laws.

2 All items mailed under this Agreement must conform to the mailability requirements of the DO and conform to the importation requirements of the destination countries. The Mailer is solely responsible for the importation status of the products mailed under this Agreement.

3 The Mailer must provide any necessary documentation, including data provided in electronic format, in connection with each mailing, in the form and at the time specified by the DO, customs agencies, local civil aviation authority, a destination country foreign government, or other authority. The Mailer further understands that the failure to provide any such required documentation may result in refusal at acceptance, delay in processing, involuntary seizure by authorities, and/or return of mail to sender.

4 The Mailer must comply with any regulation or order promulgated by the DO, customs agencies, civil aviation authorities, a destination country foreign government, or other governmental unit with jurisdiction over mail, to facilitate the customs processing of its mail, according to any requirements specified by those authorities.

5 This Agreement may be terminated immediately for cause based on the Mailer's failure to comply with all regulations, orders, and demands and all other applicable laws.

Examples of possible compliance measures could include:

– Standard contract language included in each business contract.


– Ongoing training efforts by the DO to inform each customer what dangerous goods are acceptable orprohibited in the mail.

– Contractual penalty clauses for account holders who improperly ship dangerous goods.

1.7 Emergency procedures

The DO should have in place written standard operating procedures for emergency response to incidents and accidents involving declared and undeclared dangerous goods. These procedures may already be incorporated into existing safety and security procedures. For example, a package leaking an unknown substance may be addressed as a hazardous spill.

It is important that security and safety procedures are communicated to the employees. The method may vary and can include formal training, team briefing, verbal and written instructions, leaflets, etc. The level of information/instruction required would depend on the risks that may be encountered at your workplace.

1.8 Retention of documents

The DO should have in place a written policy for the retention of documents relating to dangerous goods. In accordance with the Technical Instructions, any required documentation for the transport of dangerous goods by air must be retained for a minimum of three months after the flight on which the dangerous goods were transported.

10

1.9 Documented acceptance procedures

If a Post has chosen to accept any of the dangerous goods admitted exceptionally as described in article RL 131 of the Letter Post Regulations, article RC 119 of the Parcel Post Regulations, and chapter 2, section 2.3, of the ICAO Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air (Doc 9284), it must have documented acceptance procedures in place. There should be training provided on these acceptance procedures, and they should be readily accessible at acceptance locations.

As described in section 1.1, the training will be commensurate with ICAO Annex 18 and the ICAO Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air (Doc 9284), or the national authority.

1.10 Procedures for requiring sender information

As part of the DO's acceptance procedures, the acceptance personnel should be trained to check that names, addresses and signatures are legible on all packages. This requirement is also covered in section 1.1 on dangerous goods training for staff.


The DO should have in place a procedure or responsible party for ensuring that any state or operator variations or changes to the Technical Instructions are incorporated into existing procedures and updated.

1.12 Procedures for handling rejected packages

The DO should have in place written standard operating procedures for handling packages that are rejected from air transport. These procedures may already be incorporated into existing safety and security procedures. For example, a package may contain an item that cannot be transported by air, but that could be transported by other transport modes. The package would be marked as not permitted for transport by air.

It is important that security and safety procedures be communicated to employees. The methods may vary, and can include formal training, team briefing, verbal and written instructions, leaflets, etc. The level of information/instruction required will depend on the risks that may be encountered at the workplace.

2 Conclusion

Each DO should meet with its respective CAA at the earliest possible opportunity. This will give the DO the opportunity to explain the operations and business model of the Post. This information can then be considered by both parties when discussing the way forward for dangerous goods training and procedures for preventing the introduction of dangerous goods into mail and air transport.

It is important to remember that all DOs, irrespective of whether or not they wish to transport equipment containing lithium batteries or other admissible items outlined in article 16, should have in place procedures for controlling the introduction of dangerous goods into their postal networks in order to keep the mail safe and secure.
