TRAINING COURSE

Dangerous Goods for (EU) Ramp Inspectors

Introduction

The JAA Training Organisation is now introducing a complete new one day Dangerous Goods practical case study application course for RAMP INSPECTORS, to fulfill their duties and responsibilities in relation to this part of Ramp inspections. The course may also be beneficial for NAA managers supervising these activities.

The need of this course comes from the fact that the Directive 2008/49/EC specifically requires: "candidates for qualification as SAFA inspector to possess the necessary aeronautical education and/or practical knowledge relevant to their area of inspection". These areas include special Dangerous Goods inspection items.

As such, this course 'aims to' teach practical skills for inspectors which will allow them to recognise whether the transportation of Dangerous Goods is safe, in accordance with the applicable regulations and, if not, what kind of corrective measures should be requested. The objective of the training course is to present a comprehensive practical case study on the relevant DG subjects contained within the EU Ramp Inspection Programme.

Participants will gain from this course a thorough understanding of the DG regulations, how DGs are transported, marked and labelled, how they can and should be inspected, and what kind of actions to request in case of non-compliances.
