ph-iata-dangerous-goods-air study plan

Map each of the nine IATA hazard classes and their divisions against the criteria used to assign them, writing a one-page comparison table from memory

Classify 20 short substance descriptions into class, division and packing group, recording the deciding property (flash point, LC50, reactivity, magnetism) for each

Explain how the DGR relates to the ICAO Technical Instructions and the UN Model Regulations, and state which document governs a given shipment scenario

Distinguish shipper, operator and forwarder responsibilities and identify who signs the Shipper's Declaration

Navigate the Dangerous Goods List by UN number and by proper shipping name, and locate the columns for class, PG, labels, packing instruction and special provisions

Apply state, quantity and operator variations to five worked entries and record which columns change

Interpret the most commonly tested special provisions and describe what each one adds or removes from the base entry

Resolve three ambiguous proper shipping names using the precedence-of-hazards rules and the DG List ordering

Read a packing instruction line by line and state what each element (single/combination packaging, inner packaging limits, Q value) permits

Select the correct packing instruction and permitted UN packaging code for 15 shipments drawn from the DG List

Verify UN packaging markings against the packaging code required by the instruction, and identify non-compliant markings

Explain the difference between limited quantity, excepted quantity and fully regulated packing, and when each applies

Describe the closure, cushioning and compatibility requirements that make a package compliant

Construct the complete marking set for a non-radioactive, non-magnetic shipment, including proper shipping name, UN number, consignee/consignor details and package specification marks

Select and place hazard and handling labels correctly for single-hazard and multi-hazard packages, including the orientation and Cargo Aircraft Only labels

Draft a Shipper's Declaration from a shipment brief, filling every mandatory field in the correct order and format

Detect errors in three pre-written declarations and mark each defect with the field it violates

State the retention period and signature requirements for the declaration and the air waybill

Explain how operator variations are published, how to check them for a specific carrier, and how they override the base DGR

Apply three sample operator variations to a shipment plan and state the resulting change to packing, quantity or loading

Describe loading restrictions for packages bearing the Cargo Aircraft Only label and for radioactive and magnetized material

Explain segregation requirements between dangerous goods and incompatible cargo, including the loading of toxic and infectious substances

Outline the actions for a damaged or leaking package found during loading

Describe the emergency response information that must accompany a shipment and how to use the DGR emergency response guidance for a spill

Outline the incident reporting chain, including who notifies whom and what information must be recorded

Build an acceptance checklist covering documentation, packaging, marking, labelling and quantity limits

Run the checklist against four sample shipments and record accept, reject or hold with reasons

Explain the training categories, the competency-based assessment requirement and the recurrent training interval

Re-derive the classification of ten substances you got wrong earlier and confirm the corrected answer against the DG List

Re-work five packing instruction selections that failed in week 3 and state why the first answer was wrong

Explain the applicability thresholds and exemptions that let certain shipments travel without full regulation

Summarise the shipper's legal obligations under the applicable national and international framework in under 300 words

Complete a full timed mock examination under exam conditions and score it by domain

Re-draft two Shipper's Declarations and two label sets from scratch without notes, then check them against the DGR

Identify your two weakest domains from the mock and close each gap with targeted review

Write a one-page personal pre-exam reference sheet limited to figures and rules you repeatedly forget
