Dangerous Goods Training

Dangerous goods training
The successful application of the regulations governing the transport of dangerous goods greatly depends on the awareness on the part of all involved persons of the associated risks, as well as on their understanding of the applicable regulations.

A safe and efficient aviation system depends on a skilled workforce. Employers are required to ensure that their personnel are competent to perform each activity for which they are responsible. This requirement can be met by establishing a Competency-based Training and Assessment (CBTA).

As from 01.01.2023: Competency-Based Training and Assessment DG Personnel

(ICAO Technical Instructions, part 1, chapter 4) and Swiss Federal Air Transport Ordinance OATr, Art. 16 (SR 748.411) in German
