1 ORDER TCAA-O-OPS023B March 2013 CARRIAGE OF DANGEROUS GOODS 1.0 PURPOSE 1.1 This ORDER provides information, direction, and guidance to be used by operations inspectors concerning inspections of dangerous goods, the acceptance of dangerous goods or dangerous goods manuals, and the approval of dangerous goods or dangerous goods training. 1.2 The terms dangerous goods and hazardous materials (HAZMAT) are synonymous. All operators are required to provide training on the identification of dangerous goods to their personnel. 1.3 Those operators who transport dangerous goods must include procedures for handling these materials in their Operations Manuals (OM). These operators must also train their personnel on the use of these procedures. Note: Operators that choose not to carry dangerous goods must have a dangerous goods recognition or awareness programme. 2.0 REFERENCE 2.1 Regulations 73 to 86 of the Civil Aviation (Air Operator Certification and Administration) Regulations, 2.2 Regulations 80 and 185 of the Civil Aviation (Operation of Aircraft ) Regulations, 3.0 RESPONSIBILITY FOR ACCEPTANCE/APPROVAL, SURVEILLANCE, AND ENFORCEMENT OF DANGEROUS GOODS PROGRAMMES 3.1 The Authority Inspectorate has oversight responsibility for an air operator s dangerous goods programme. Flight Operations Inspectors (FOIs) specifically trained for dangerous goods are responsible for dangerous goods and must evaluate all dangerous goods programmes. An operator s dangerous goods programme is contained in his dangerous goods manual and includes dangerous goods training. Operators should use the current International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Technical Instructions when they develop their dangerous goods programmes. TCAA-O-OPS 023B March 2013 Page 1 of 16

2 3.2 Procedures for Approval of Dangerous Goods Training Programme When an inspector receives a proposed or updated dangerous goods training programme from an operator, he should forward it to an Inspector who is specifically trained on the Dangerous Goods, herein referred to as Dangerous Goods Inspector (DGI). The DGI will then evaluate the contents of the training and consult with other FOIs when necessary The operator should coordinate with the DGI as necessary to formulate a satisfactory dangerous goods training programme. Once the DGI is satisfied with the training, he then recommends approval of the implementation of the training as required by Regulation 85 Training programmes of the Civil Aviation (Air Operator Certification and Administration) Regulations, Regulation 80 Carriage of dangerous goods and Regulation 185 Initial dangerous goods training of the Civil Aviation (Operation of Aircraft) Regulations. Dangerous goods training is usually included in the air operator s dangerous goods manual. The initial approval of the training is usually done at the same time as the review and acceptance of the dangerous goods manual. 3.3 Procedures for Approval of Dangerous Goods Manuals. When a FOI receives a dangerous goods manual for review from an air operator, he should forward it to the DGI. The DGI will review the contents of the manual and consult with other FOIs when necessary. The operator should coordinate with the DGI as necessary to formulate a satisfactory dangerous goods manual. Once the DGI is satisfied with the manual, he should recommend it to the Director responsible for Safety Oversight in writing for acceptance. 4.0 DANGEROUS GOODS INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS FOR OPERATORS NOT ACCEPTING DANGEROUS GOODS 4.1 Operators who do not accept, handle, or store dangerous goods must provide procedures and instructions in the operator s manual as follows: Procedures and instructions so that all personnel responsible for accepting and handling any cargo or packaged materials receive adequate training on the recognition of items classified as dangerous goods (Adequate is defined in an operational sense to mean the demonstrated ability of required personnel to identify such items); Procedures and instructions so that no packages are accepted by the operator that contain dangerous goods; Procedures and instructions for reporting that damaged packages found to contain, or that are suspected of containing, dangerous goods or dangerous goods are reported in compliance with the ICAO Technical Instructions; Procedures and instructions to see that all Company Material (COMAT) containing dangerous goods will be offered to a different mode of transportation (e.g., ground) and/or an air operator that is authorized to transport dangerous goods; Procedures and instructions to see that any employee, agent, or contract employee of the air operator who prepares and/or offers COMAT containing dangerous goods for shipment via any mode is fully trained as a dangerous goods shipper.
