Peter East Associates is pleased to announce the launch of our Dangerous Goods by Air (IATA) classroom training courses in Newcastle. This new location makes it easier for professionals across the Northeast to access Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) approved DG by Air training without the need to travel further afield.
If your role involves shipping, handling or preparing dangerous goods for air transport, this training is essential for maintaining safety, compliance and operational efficiency.
Why DG by Air Training Matters
The air transport of dangerous goods is regulated in the UK by the CAA. The CAA enforces regulations set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), in the form of the technical instructions. These technical instructions in turn inform the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, which are used practically by airlines and shippers alike.
Incorrect classification, packing or documentation can lead to rejected shipments, delays, fines and serious safety risks. Our Dangerous Goods by Air training ensures delegates understand their responsibilities and can confidently apply current regulations.
