Why dangerous goods training matters
Dangerous Goods Training is an essential requirement for individuals and companies involved in the transport and handling of hazardous materials. Proper training ensures that everyone involved in the process is aware of the potential hazards and risks associated with the handling and transport of dangerous goods. It also helps to ensure compliance with international regulations such as IATA, IMDG, and ADR.
Without proper training, the handling and transport of dangerous goods can be extremely dangerous and could lead to serious accidents or incidents. IATA dangerous goods training equips individuals and companies with the necessary knowledge and skills to safely handle hazardous materials, and mitigate the risks associated with their transport. By investing in proper DGR training, individuals and companies can reduce the likelihood of accidents and incidents, which could result in loss of life, injury, property damage, and negative impact on the environment.

Customized course covers lithium and sodium batteries.
Which GCAA dangerous goods course code do I need?
Your course code follows your job function, not your job title. Staff who accept or process DG consignments need 4.1.D. Staff who prepare or classify shipments need 4.1.B or 4.1.D. Staff handling and storing cargo in warehouse need 4.1.E. Passenger handling check-in staff needs 4.1.F. If you are unsure, send your job description to DGR Aviation and the team will recommend the type of training depending on your job function.
Is dangerous goods training mandatory in the UAE?
Yes, training is in fact mandatory worldwide. Personnel who offer, prepare, accept, handle, load, dispatch or screen cargo, mail or baggage carried by air are required to hold current dangerous goods training matched to their job function. These requirements are based on the Int’l Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), Int’l Air Transport Association (IATA) and the UAE Civil Aviation Regulations (CAR) Part VI, Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air.
How long is a DGR certificate valid?
All DG certificates are valid for two years from the date of successful completion of the training. Attend recurrent training before that expiry date. Once a certificate lapses, the holder is no longer qualified to perform the function and the employer carries the compliance exposure during any audit or inspection.
How long does each dangerous goods course take?
Duration depends on the types of training based on the job functions. 4.1.L runs 3 hours. 4.1.H and 4.1.J run 4 hours each. 4.1.F, 4.1.G, 4.1.I and 4.1.C run 1 day, 4.1.E runs 2 days. 4.1.D runs 4 days without Class 7 radioactive material or 5 days with it. 4.1.A runs 6 days.
What is the difference between initial and recurrent DGR training?
Initial training is the full syllabus for someone attending the training for the first time. Recurrent training is the shorter refresher taken before the two-year certificate expires and it shall not be less than 60% of the duration specified for the initial training.
Do you deliver in-house dangerous goods training at our facility?
Yes. DGR Aviation runs customised and in-house sessions for airlines, ground handling agents, freight forwarders, helicopter operators, postal operators and packaging suppliers. Complete the request form or email info@dgraviation.com with your headcount, preferred dates and the job function you need covered, and the team will build the schedule around your shift patterns.
Do I need to buy my own IATA DGR manual?
No. DGR Aviation supplies the current-year IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations manual and UAE CAR Part VI for the duration of the course. Participants who want a personal copy for daily operational use after training have to purchase it separately, either from DGR Aviation or IATA.
