Why it is important to learn about dangerous goods??

Because . . . . . .• IT CAN START A FIRE • IT CAN HELP SPREADING A FIRE• CAN CAUSE INJURY THROUGH CONTACT AND RADIATION

• 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

Class 1 - Explosives

14

A solid or liquid substance( or a mixture)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

Example: TNT, Dynamite, Nitroglycerine and etc.

AMC - TDG 2103 BY SIR ARIFF

Sub-class of Class 1

15

1.1 — Explosives with a mass explosion hazard.

1.2 — Explosives with a blast/projection hazard.

1.3 — Explosives with a minor blast hazard. (rocket

propellant, display fireworks) 1.4 — Explosives with a major fire hazard.

(consumer firework, ammunition) 1.5 — Blasting agents. 1.6 — Extremely insensitive explosives.

Class 2 - Gases

16

Gases which are compressed, liquefied or dissolved under pressure as detailed below.

Is completely gaseous at 200c at a standard pressure of 101.3 kpa.

A gas is a substance which at 500 c has a vapour pressure greater than 300 kpa.

Some gases have subsidiary risk classes; poisonous or corrosive.

AMC - TDG 2103 BY SIR ARIFF

Sub-class of Class 2

17

2.1 Flammable Gas: Gases which ignite on contact with an ignition source, such as acetylene and hydrogen.

2.2 Non-Flammable Gases: Gases which are neither flammable nor poisonous. Includes the cryogenic gases/liquids (temperatures of below -100°C) used for cryopreservation and rocket fuels, such as nitrogen and neon.

2.3 Poisonous Gases: Gases liable to cause death or serious injury to human health if inhaled; examples are fluorine, chlorine, and hydrogen cyanide.
