 GENERAL

• As required by Annex 18 to the Chicago Convention, each Contracting State shall

establish inspection, surveillance and enforcement procedures with a view to
achieving compliance with its dangerous goods regulations.

• The Checklists included in this document are designed to help the implementation
of the Air Transportation of Dangerous Goods inspection program and to promote
the Inspector’s uniform understanding.

• The Checklists are intended to assist primarily in the inspection of operators and
handling agents, although it is recognized that in some state it may be possible to
conduct inspections on freight agents and shippers.

 LEGISLATION

International Civil Aviation Organization, Annex 18

• Annex 18 to the Chicago Convention was developed to respond to a demand by

Contracting States for an internationally agreed upon set of provisions addressing
the transportation of dangerous goods by air.

• These provisions are based upon the Recommendations of the United Nations
Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods and the Regulations
for the Safe transport of Radioactive Material of the International Atomic Energy
Agency.

• The Standard and Recommended Practices are contained in the Annex 18 and the
Technical Instructions contain all the detailed instructions for the safe transport of
dangerous goods by air.

International Civil Aviation Organization Technical Instructions

• The International Civil Aviation Organization Technical Instructions for the Safe
transport of Dangerous Goods by Air (Document 9284-AN/905) contain the
detailed technical material needed to support the broad provisions of Annex 18
providing a fully comprehensive set of international regulations.

• They are published biennially.

International Civil Aviation Organization Supplement to the Technical

Instructions

• The Supplement to the Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of

Dangerous Goods by Air provides information that is primarily of interest to
States.
• Certain dangerous goods, which are normally forbidden, may be specifically
authorized for air transport by approval of the appropriate national authority.
• The Supplement to the TIs provides information to State for processing of
approvals or exemptions
National Regulations
• It is assumed that Annex 18 and the Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport
of Dangerous Goods by Air are included directly or by reference in the National
Regulations.

ii
Surveillance Checklists - Dangerous Goods
 • In absence of reference in the National Regulation, legal guidance should be
sought to develop an appropriate legal framework.

I. Any type of dangerous goods occurrence must be reported, irrespective of whether the dangerous goods
are contained in cargo, mail or baggage.
2. A dangerous goods accident is an occurrence associated with and related to the transport of dangerous
goods which results in fatal or serious injury to a person or major property damage. For this purpose
serious injury is an injury which is sustained by a person in an accident and which: (a) requires
hospitalisation for more than 48 hours, commencing within 7 days from the date the injury was received;
or (b) results in a fracture of any bones (except simple fractures of fingers, toes or nose); or (c) involves
lacerations which cause severe haemorrhage, nerve, muscle or tendon damage; or (d) involves injury to
any internal organ; or (e) involves second or third degree burns. or any burns affecting more than 5% of
the body surface; or (f) involves verified exposure to infectious substances or injurious radiation. A
dangerous goods accident may also be an aircraft accident; in which case the normal procedure for
reporting of air accidents must be followed.
3. A dangerous goods incident is an occurrence, other than a dangerous goods accident, associated with
and related to the transport of dangerous goods, not necessarily occurring on board an aircraft, which
results in injury to a person, property damage, fire, breakage, spillage, leakage of fluid or radiation or
other evidence that the integrity of the packaging has not been maintained. Any occurrence relating to the
transport of dangerous goods which seriously jeopardises the aircraft or its occupants is also deemed to
constitute a dangerous goods incident.
4. This form should also be used to report any occasion when undeclared or misdeclared dangerous goods
are discovered in cargo, mail or unaccompanied baggage or when accompanied baggage contains
dangerous goods which passengers or crew are not permitted to take on aircraft.
5. An initial report, which may be made by any means, must be despatched within 72 hours of the
occurrence, to the Authority of the State (a) of the operator; and (b) in which the incident occurred, unless

40
Surveillance Checklists - Dangerous Goods
 exceptional circumstances prevent this. This occurrence report form, duly completed, must be sent as soon
as possible, even if all the information is not available.
6. Copies of all relevant documents and any photographs should be attached to this report.
7. Providing it is safe to do so, all dangerous goods, packaging, documents, etc, relating to the
occurrence must be retained until after the initial report has been sent to the Dangerous Goods State
Authority and they have indicated whether or not these should continue to be retained.

Surveillance Checklists - Dangerous Goods
 General
 Dangerous goods incidents may involve cargo or passengers' baggage
 They may occur in a freight shed, a passenger terminal or on the apron
 They may also occur on an aircraft, such as when a package is damaged through
misloading
 They may involve a fire, major spillage, leakage or finding undeclared dangerous
goods
 The Contingency Plan need not be implemented for undeclared dangerous goods
where the package is intact and there are no signs of leakage, although they still need
to be identified
 If it is suspected there has been non-compliance with the Technical Instructions, the
dangerous goods need to be retained for further investigation (provided it is safe to do
so)
 To implement the Contingency Plan, take the following actions:

All incidents

 record brief details, including the names of all persons involved

 make an initial assessment of the potential seriousness
 if there is fire, leakage or spillage, call the airport fire service, if not already in
attendance
 notify the relevant airport authority, if not already in attendance

Any incident involving a suspected infectious substance

 clear the immediate area; do not touch or move the container, bag, etc
 contact the shipper or consignee; if not contactable, contact the nearest hospital

Cargo related incidents - minor leakage or spillage

 clear the immediate area; do not touch or move the dangerous goods or any container;
do not attempt to clean-up a spillage or leakage; avoid breathing in fumes
 call the airport fire service if not already in attendance
 look at container for details of the contents (name, UN no., etc), if this is possible
without risking injury.
 locate shipping documents and use to confirm or establish details; retain for further
investigation
 if the airport fire service is not available or other action needed see Subsequent
Actions
 ensure container and contents placed in a safe location (if this is considered safe to do
so and possible) if further investigation needed; ensure full and accurate details
recorded
 ensure operator notified of incident, if not already aware

43
Surveillance Checklists - Dangerous Goods
 Cargo related incidents - minor leakage (eg: wetting of part of the outer packaging)

 keep persons away from immediate vicinity; avoid breathing in fumes

 consider if calling airport fire service is justified
 look at container for details of the contents (name, UN no., etc)
 locate shipping documents and use to confirm or establish details; retain for further
investigation
 if airport fire service not called and other action needed see Subsequent Actions
 if airport fire service deal with the incident, ensure container and contents are placed
in a safe location (if safe to do so and possible) if further investigation needed; ensure
full and accurate details recorded
 ensure operator notified of incident, if relevant

Passenger related incidents

 keep persons away from immediate vicinity; avoid breathing in fumes

 ask passenger to identify item or potential hazard
 consider if calling airport fire service is justified
 if airport fire service is not called and other action needed see Subsequent Actions
 if airport fire service deal with the incident, ensure container and contents are placed
in a safe location (if safe to do so and possible). If further investigation needed;
ensure full and accurate details recorded

Subsequent Actions

 if container shows emergency actions, deal with incident accordingly

 if commodity identifiable, seek expert help if there are no emergency actions or if
they cannot be followed
 do not use water, cloth or paper to deal with any spillage, unless it is certain that it is
safe to do so
 if commodity not immediately identifiable but container safe to handle (little
evidence of leakage, no fumes), remove to well-ventilated place, use rubber gloves to
protect hands and check for labels or markings on outer container; open if there are
inner containers and check again for labels or markings
 orientate any leaking container so further leakage is prevented
 Stop all actions immediately if fumes detected or more serious leakage found on
closer inspection; call the airport fire service or other specialist assistance
 if there are fumes, they can be contained by covering spillage with plastic sheeting or
plastic bags (unless emergency actions identify possible adverse reaction) but be

44
Surveillance Checklists - Dangerous Goods
 aware this may lead to a build-up of fumes under the covering; remain at a safe
distance
 a spillage can be contained by surrounding with dry sand to prevent spread (unless
emergency actions identify a possible adverse reaction)
 use dry sand to cover a spillage, unless commodity is identified as an acid
 use sodium bicarbonate to cover a spillage of acid, but be aware this may result in
bubbling and evolution of carbon dioxide (but there will be no other reaction)
 seek expert help for cleaning up the scene; if help not immediately available and it is
desired to remove containers, spillage, etc, assess whether or not it is safe to continue
 using rubber gloves to protect the hands, put any container in a plastic bag; avoid
breathing in any fumes; tie bag tightly
 using rubber gloves and plastic based tools or rigid plastic material, pick-up
contaminated sand/sodium bicarbonate and place in another plastic bag; tie bag
tightly
 place all plastic bags in a further bag and tie tightly
 place the bag(s) in a secure, well ventilated location well away from any occupied
area; if in the open air ensure moisture, rain, etc, cannot come into contact with the
plastic bag(s)
 check the bag(s) at frequent intervals for any adverse reaction
 seek expert help to dispose of the commodity, if not being retained.
