Dangerous Goods

Special Load Regulations

Definition of dangerous Goods

Dangerous goods are articles or substances which are capable of posing a
risk to health, safety, property or the environment and which are shown in the
list of dangerous goods in these Dangerous Goods Regulations or which are
classified according to these Dangerous Goods Regulations.

General

Dangerous goods may be carried provided that the indicated net quantities
are not exceeded and the applicable packing instructions according to the
“IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations” are strictly adhered to. For the carriage
to/from/transiting the USA and Japan additional restrictions are applicable.
Dangerous Goods must be clearly marked and labeled with the appropriate
labels.

Special handling instructions (labels or imprints), e.g. “This Way Up” or arrows
indicating the proper orientation of the package, must be strictly observed.
Dangerous goods as cargo must never be carried in an aircraft cabin
occupied by passenger or cockpit other than those permitted by government
regulation.

Prior to loading into the ULD, the packing of dangerous goods shall be
inspected by the cargo service staff to determine that it has no holes, leakage
or other indication that the packing has been damaged. The package seals - if
any - on radioactive materials must be intact. Under no circumstances shall
dangerous goods be loaded into an aircraft when any damage is noticed or
suspected by the loading staff or responsible ramp agent.

Dangerous goods must be loaded and secured in a way that will prevent any
movement which could change the position of the package during ground/air
transportation. This can be achieved by tying down the dangerous goods or
by stowing other load together with dangerous goods in a way that no
movement is possible.

When unloading from bulk compartments or from ULDs the dangerous goods
packages shall be inspected for evidence of any damage or leakage. If carried
in ULDs, the area where the ULD was stowed shall be inspected for evidence
of leakage or contamination.
