CHAPTER 9: DANGEROUS GOODS AND WEAPONS

9.1 DANGEROUS GOODS 9.1.0 General Principle

Dangerous goods are articles or substances which are capable of posing a risk to health, safety, property or the environment and which are shown in RACD 15 and classified in IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations Manual. The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations Manual are published in order to provide procedures for the shipper and the Compagnie Africaine d’Aviation by which articles and substances with hazardous properties can be safely transported by air on our commercial air transport. Dangerous goods are classified by class or division depending on the hazard they present. The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations Manual includes a list of individual articles and substances specifying the United Nations classification of each article or substance and their acceptability for air transport, as well as the conditions for their transport.

9.1.1 Compagnie Africaine d’Aviation Policy Compagnie Africaine d'Aviation (CAA) policy and procedures are developed from RACD 15, ICAO and IATA Regulations; they are in total compliance with these regulations, and sometimes more restrictive. No dangerous substance or article will be accepted for transportation except as provided by the IATA DGR with DRC CAA authorization. If there is any doubt whatsoever, as to the nature of a shipment, it is not to be forwarded until the matter has been fully clarified. Compagnie Africaine d'Aviation (CAA) does not accept Dangerous Goods Class 1 (except 1.4s) and 7. All Compagnie Africaine d'Aviation (CAA) staff involved must receive an appropriate training on Dangerous Goods (see training program). A declaration must be filled in, to give handling and loading information concerning dangerous goods and to facilitate all action in case of accident or incident on flight or on ground. According to ICAO / IATA regulations Compagnie Africaine d’Aviation ensures that sufficient notices, prominently displayed, are provided at cargo acceptance points, or in immediate vicinity, giving information about the transport of dangerous goods. Compagnie Africaine d'Aviation (CAA) Commanders must be advised of what is on board the aircraft. Information to call attention to carrying forbidden articles in check in or cabin baggage must be conveyed to passengers before or during check in. Any Accident and incident related to dangerous goods shall be reported to Compagnie Africaine d'Aviation (CAA) Safety Department and if applicable to competent authority to inquire into the matter so that an investigation can establish the cause and take corrective action. Note: The IATA DGR manual is revised annually. The person in charge of Cargo Handling is responsible that only the current edition of the manual is used. Earlier editions must be destroyed, or filed for record purposes.

9.1.2 Dangerous Goods Transportation Requirements 9.1.2.0 Introduction Dangerous Goods are presenting a potential risk, flight safety depends on the rigorous application of all the items of the regulations. Acceptance rules are published in the IATA “Dangerous Goods Regulations”, only reference to be used. Acceptance of Dangerous Cargo Goods can only be given by qualified staff. Such persons must have been trained as required and with success. The specific training material is validated by Compagnie Africaine d’Aviation and approved by the DRC CAA. This chapter reminds some ICAO/ IATA regulations generalities such as acceptance, labeling, loading, classification, marking and separation. 9.1.2.1 Acceptance of Dangerous Goods 9.1.2.1.1 Acceptance Procedures Acceptance of Dangerous Goods is stringently performed and no incorrectly packed, declared or marked parcel is accepted. In case of doubt on the nature of the commodity declared or the quality of the packaging, additional information must be obtained from the shipper. 9.1.2.1.2 Acceptance Check-lists To assist in carrying out their responsibilities with respect to the acceptance of Dangerous Goods, operators must use a check-list . 9.1.2.1.2.1 Use of CAA Acceptance Check-lists The forms hereunder are used to check:

Non-radioactive dangerous goods. Dry ice shipments when packaged on its own or as refrigerant for non-dangerous

goods. Declaration of contents for personal effects and unaccompanied baggage.

2 copies of these forms is used for each shipment. First copy must be recorded with other document in departure cargo center, second copy must be added to AWB till destination Note: a single agent must check all questions with the AWB, the Shipper‘s Declaration and package(s).

9.1.2.1.2.2 Use of non- Compagnie Africaine d'Aviation (CAA) Check-lists If Compagnie Africaine d’Aviation check-lists are not available, IATA check-lists of current DGR edition can be used. Other airlines or Ground Handling Agent check-lists can be used if similar to Compagnie Africaine d'Aviation (CAA) or IATA ones. 9.1.2.1.2.3 Check of Shipper’s Declaration The shipper’s declaration must scrupulously be in accordance with IATA Dangerous Goods Regulation, and notably:

Always be in 2 original copies, one stapled to a copy of the AWB and filed at the departure station, the other stapled to the AWB set put in the cargo documents bag on the flight.

Always be written in english language with eventually another language translation. Only in case of urgency, it is possible to accept a shipper’s declaration sent by

electronic mail for carriage exclusively on CAA. In such a case, the original declaration shall be handed over prior to transportation to an CAA cargo office, who will inform by message the department which is to accept the shipment. The original declaration will then have to be transmitted without delay to the accepting cargo office to be filed.

Be accompanied by required authorizations (packaging certificate, authorization, etc.), and these ones must be established in english or include a translation into english.

Have emergency telephone number mentioned. If the reverse side of the form(s) is used, a figure 2 shall be written in the top right corner of the front side.

Note: A new “shipper’s declaration” shall be required if:

It includes deletions or alterations not countersigned with same signature used to sign DGD.

The shipment must be split into several shares and separate declarations were not established for each share.

The declaration is not in english.

9.1.2.5 Handling and Loading 9.1.2.5.1 General Dangerous Goods must not be carried in an aircraft cabin occupied by passengers or in the cockpit. This restriction does not concern Compagnie Africaine d’Aviation (CAA)’s dangerous goods, permitted articles carried by passengers and crew as well as excepted packages of radioactive materials (RRE). 9.1.2.5.2 Responsibility Handling / Loading Staff

(1) It is the handling/loading staff’s responsibility to ensure that packages or over packs containing dangerous goods is not loaded on board an aircraft or into a ULD unless they have been inspected immediately prior to loading and found free from evidence of leakage or damage. If a package from a consignment consisting of multiple packages, all other packages belonging to the same consignment must be checked for damage and/or leakage. Damages and or leaking package must be disposed in accordance with the applicable regulations. It is also their responsibility to load all dangerous goods in accordance with the compatibility rules.

(2) Prior to loading of ULD’s, loading staff must ensure no packages inside are damaged or leaking due to possible shifting during ramp transport.

(3) When a handling agent discovers that labels have become lost, detached or illegible, he must replace them in accordance with the information provided on the “Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous Goods”. This requirement does not apply where labels are found to be missing or illegible at time of acceptance. These labels must be available on all positions were Dangerous Goods are accepted.

Note: All staff must have followed appropriate Dangerous Goods training. An updating of knowledge (recurrent training) must be accomplished within a period of 24 months. Basic and recurrent training are legal requirements.

Every package of Dangerous Goods must be individually inspected before loading either into an aircraft bulk compartment or onto a unit load device. 9.1.2.5.3 The Loading Agent must Check

Good condition of packages containing Dangerous Goods: inspection on leakage, holes, bumps, smell, etc.

Compliance with this side up loading requirement (arrows) Correct tied down or blocked Compliance with incompatibility rules in accordance with loading instruction report Compliance with loading constraints of ICE and RSB according to loading instruction

9.1.2.6 Dangerous Goods Stowage This rule applies in all circumstances. Specially check that:

Small packages cannot pass through pallet net mesh. With bulk loading, no packages move in the hold. Drums and cans (difficult to tie down) are effectively blocked by other loads. Blocking by means of other loads must be performed in five directions: forward,

backwards, on each side and upwards. Tie down is done with statutory equipments.

Note: For flight safety, a dangerous good package must be tied down or effectively blocked by other loads in every direction, when loaded onto a pallet, in a container or in bulk.

9.1.2.7 Segregation Rules Mutual interaction, in the event of an incident, of several dangerous goods of different classes will sometimes increase risks. This is why some packages are incompatible with each other. There can be:

Incompatibility between dangerous goods. Loading precautions between dangerous goods and other cargo.

When labels identifying primary and subsidiary risk are required, they should be displayed adjacent to each other. Incompatibility rules apply to primary and subsidiary risk(s). All have to be taken into account for loading. Packages containing dangerous goods with multiple hazards in the class or divisions which require segregation in accordance to the table hereafter need not to be segregated from packages bearing the same UN number. 9.1.2.7.1 Incompatibility Between Dangerous Goods Note: Divisions 1.4s, 4.1 and Classes 6, 7 and 9 are not included in table hereunder as they do not require segregation from other divisions or classes of dangerous goods.

All incompatible packages with each other must, when palletized or in hold if bulk loaded, be physically separated. This may be achieved in either of two manners:

Either by separate tie down of packages

or by separating incompatible packages with non-dangerous cargo (or dangerous cargo compatible with the two classes/divisions concerned) :

9.1.3 Dangerous Goods Emergency Response 9.1.3.1 Introduction Emergency procedures must be available wherever dangerous goods are handled. ICAO Annex 14 – Aerodromes, chapter 9- Emergency and other services, requires that procedures be established by airport authorities to deal with emergencies involving dangerous goods. In addition, DGR 9.5.2 requires that operators provide information to flight crew and other employees, in the operator’s operations or other appropriate manuals, on the action to be taken in the event of emergencies involving goods. 9.1.3.2 Procedures for Flight Crew Emergency checklist for Flight Crew: The ICAO Emergency Response Guide (red book) details them as:

Follow aircraft emergency procedures for fire or smoke removal; No smoking sign on; Consider landing as soon as possible; Consider turning off non-essential electrical power; Determine source of smoke/fumes/fire; For dangerous goods incidents in the passenger cabin, see cabin crew checklist and

coordinate cockpit/cabin crew action; Determine emergency response drill code (from NOTOC where available or from red

book); Use guidance from aircraft emergency response drills chart to help with incident, and If the situation permits, notify ATC of the dangerous goods being carried.

After landing:

Disembark passengers and crew before opening any cargo compartment doors; Inform ground personnel/emergency services of nature and location of dangerous

goods; and Make appropriate entry in maintenance log.

9.1.3.4 Special Guidelines for Infectious Substances If any person becomes aware of damage to or leakage from such a package, he must:

Avoid handling the package or keep handling to a minimum; Inspect adjacent packages for contamination and put aside any parcel that might

have been contaminated Inform the appropriate public health or veterinary authority and provide

information on any other countries of transit where persons may have been exposed to danger.

Notify the consignor and/or the consignee. Mitigation procedures:

Isolate spill or leak area immediately in all directions. Keep unauthorized personnel away. Obtain identity of substance involved if possible and report the spill to the

appropriate authorities. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing

appropriate protective clothing. Be particularly careful to avoid contact with broken glass or sharp objects that may

cause cuts or abrasions that could significantly increase the risk of exposure. Damaged packages containing solid CO2 as a refrigerant may produce water or

frost from condensation of air. Do not touch this liquid as it could be contaminated by the contents of the package.

Liquid nitrogen may be present and can cause severe burns. Absorb spilled materials with earth, sand or other non-combustible material while

avoiding direct contact. Cover damaged package or spilled material with damp towel or rag and keep wet

with liquid bleach or other disinfectant. Liquid bleach will generally effectively inactivate the released substance.

Clean up or disposal should only be effected by a competent person. First Aid:

Move exposed person(s) to a safe isolated area. CAUTION: Exposed person(s) may be a source of contamination.

Call emergency medical services. Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. In case of contact with substance, immediately flush skin or eyes with running

water for at least 20 minutes. Effects of exposure (inhalation, ingestion or skin contact) to substance may be

delayed. For further assistance, contact the appropriate public health authority. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the substances involved, and take

precautions to protect themselves.

9.1.3.5 Non Hazardous Materials Throughout the entire process of cargo handling including but not limited to; warehousing, transport and loading/offloading. All staff involved must be attentive to any irregularity. Any leakage, spillage or breakage of non-hazardous materials must be treated in accordance with the existing local guidelines. These irregularities must be reported to Compagnie Africaine d'Aviation (CAA) without delay. The use of the IATA Occurrence Report is not required for non-hazardous materials. 9.1.3.6 Reporting As all irregularities caused by dangerous goods must immediately be reported (maximum limit 72 hours), fill in the IATA Dangerous Goods Occurrence Report. As a rule the “Occurrence Report” together with photographs, copies of airway bill, DGD, acceptance check sheet, NOTOC, must be send towards Compagnie Africaine d'Aviation (CAA) reporting towards local authorities will only be done upon requesting and in cooperation with Compagnie Africaine d'Aviation (CAA). Then send or fax it to Compagnie Africaine d'Aviation (CAA) Headquarters, as a result one or more of the following actions might be taken:

Improvement or amendment of acceptance procedures. Report to the DRC/CAA. Follow-up with shipper and/or agent. Embargo to ship DG

When irregularities are of that measure that the safety of passengers, cargo or the aircraft was or is in direct or indirect danger or the presence of a situation which could be lead to an unsafe situation, must be followed and the officials must be advised. Incident Reports must be filled and kept for at least 2 years.
