WHAT IS FREIGHT? WHAT IS AIRFREIGHT? To transport dangerous goods, we must know how airfreight industry operates. WHAT IS FREIGHT? WHAT IS AIRFREIGHT? AMC - TDG 2103 BY SIR ARIFF

Freight means Goods or Objects or Materials for transportation. Airfreight refer to any GOODS or OBJECTS or ANY MATERIALS that will be transported through air. What are the vehicles used to transport goods? Aircrafts / Airplanes Helicopter AMC - TDG 2103 BY SIR ARIFF

Passenger Aircrafts Cargo Aircraft TYPE OF AIRCRAFT Passenger Aircrafts Cargo Aircraft AMC - TDG 2103 BY SIR ARIFF

HOW DANGEROUS GOODS BEING CARRIED ON AIRCRAFT? In Cargo Demand Import & Export By Passenger or air crew As part of the airworthiness or operating equipment Alcohol beverages Medicine Aerosols Lighter Safety Matches Life raft Fire extinguisher Batteries AMC - TDG 2103 BY SIR ARIFF

LIMITATIONS & EXCLUSIONS Since this dangerous goods can cause harm to people, there are outlines, requirements and regulations to be followed in order to transport dangerous goods. Outlines, requirements and regulations have been discussed by ICAO in Annex 18. Annex 18 Technical Instruction for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air. AMC - TDG 2103 BY SIR ARIFF

Definition of Dangerous Goods. To follow this guidelines, to know the requirement and regulation of this TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION, you must know: Definition of Dangerous Goods. Basic understanding why it is dangerous. AMC - TDG 2103 BY SIR ARIFF

IN SIMPLE WORD Dangerous Goods = Danger + Goods Hazard Materials @ Risk objects that can causes harm! Example: Radioactive, flammable gas, poison, fuel and etc. Mohd 'Ariff - AMC Notes

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 AMC - TDG 2103 BY SIR ARIFF

Definition of Dangerous Goods Classification Packaging, Marking and Labeling Documentation, Acceptance for air transport Handling and Stowage Procedures and Emergency Respond AMC - TDG 2103 BY SIR ARIFF

DANGEROUS GOODS CLASSES Class 1 - Explosives Class 2 - Gases Class 3 - Flammable liquids Class 4 - Flammable solids and reactive substance Class 5 - Oxidizers and Organic peroxides Class 6 - Toxic and Infectious substances Class 7 - Radioactive material Class 8 - Corrosive articles and substances Class 9 - Miscellaneous articles and substances AMC - TDG 2103 BY SIR ARIFF

Every classes of Dangerous Goods have different: Characteristic Examples of things Why it is considered as Dangerous Goods AND Once you learn this, you will know that every class of Dangerous Goods may have different way of: Packaging, Marking & Labeling Documentation and Acceptance for Air Transport Handling and Stowage. AMC - TDG 2103 BY SIR ARIFF

Class 1 - Explosives 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 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. AMC - TDG 2103 BY SIR ARIFF

Class 2 - Gases 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 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.
