Depending on the responsibilities of the person, the aspects of training to be covered may vary from those shown in Table.A and Table.B. For example, in respect of classification, staff involved in implementing security procedures (e.g. screeners and their supervisors) need only be trained in the general properties of dangerous goods. 2. A set of detailed dangerous goods training programmes for the various categories of personnel, prepared jointly with ICAO, is available from IATA. These training programmes correspond to the categories of the personnel shown in Table.A. Also available is a set of guidelines for instructors of dangerous goods courses. 3. The categories of personnel identified in Table.A and Table.B are not all encompassing. Personnel employed by or interacting with the aviation industry in areas such as passenger reservation centres, and engineering and maintenance, except when acting in a capacity identified in Table.A or Table.B, should be provided with dangerous goods training in accordance with.2.
