Some suggestions for air transportation of dangerous goods

As soon as possible, the industry regulations "Chinese Civil Aviation Dangerous Goods Management Regulations" will be issued as soon as possible in order to determine the responsibilities and legal status of various personnel, so that my country's dangerous goods air transportation will truly embark on the track of legalized management.

Vigorously do a good job in business training and education of laws and regulations related to the transportation of dangerous goods. First of all, experts in the industry should be organized to refer to the IATA textbooks to compile, organize, classify, and formulate two kinds of training materials in combination with my country's actual conditions. One is the dangerous goods business textbook, and the other is international and domestic laws and regulations textbooks. The business textbooks are divided into courses of different levels at the beginning, middle and high levels, and the standard textbooks are determined and updated in a timely manner. Then, the training instructors will be selected through the examination of business knowledge and operation skills, and the selected instructors will be issued with the instructor qualification certificate after being trained in appropriate teaching methods. Establish a teacher qualification system to ensure the quality of teaching. Because there are many people to be trained, they must be divided into different groups of shippers, agents, and carriers. They are divided into nature identification personnel, packaging personnel, ground handling personnel, receiving and transportation personnel, packaging inspection personnel, transportation document preparation personnel, Cargo loading personnel, aircraft loading and unloading personnel, warehouse custodians, etc. are trained at different levels and issued different types of certificates. Designate qualified training schools or organize regional training institutions to hold professional training courses and legal education training courses at least twice a year. Establish a retraining examination system, a qualification system for employees, and a database of employees for unified management.

Establishing an accident reporting system and an inspector system is the guarantee for the safe transportation of dangerous goods. Early detection and correct handling as early as possible can reduce or eliminate the loss caused by dangerous goods accidents, and can reduce or prevent casualties. Therefore, any personnel involved in the air transportation of dangerous goods should immediately report to the relevant departments if they discover the leakage of dangerous goods, damage to the packaging or unauthorized handling or illegal operation. The department receiving the report shall immediately take the necessary corrective measures to deal with it. It is illegal to find an accident without reporting it, and receive an accident report without taking corresponding measures, and all should be punished. The ombudsman system prevents accidents before they happen. Hire senior experts as inspectors in the name of the country. Carry out strict and effective supervision on all links of the entire transportation process from the detection and classification of dangerous goods, packaging inspection, acceptance inspection, warehouse storage, outbound assembly to aircraft loading and unloading. Report all persons or phenomena that violate the laws and regulations on air transportation of dangerous goods in time and deal with them in accordance with legal procedures. In order to ensure that the air transportation of dangerous goods is carried out in an orderly manner in accordance with the requirements of laws and regulations, to ensure transportation safety and flight safety.

Investigate and approve professional appraisal agencies to determine the nature of the goods and thus determine the applicable packaging and loading regulations. Review and approve a number of packaging container manufacturers to produce packaging containers that meet United Nations standards to supply transportation and production needs. In this regard, Ma Mingshi, a former professor at the Civil Aviation Institute, once proposed the idea of ​​preparing a "cargo science laboratory" for civil aviation, which is very insightful. However, the implementation involves all aspects of the system, institutions, funds, etc., it is really not easy. Therefore, it is imperative to support, review, identify or approve certain inspection and appraisal agencies for the nature of cargoes, and review and approve the testing standards of packaging container manufacturers and packaging containers in my country with reference to the unified standards of the international civil aviation industry. First of all, to meet the actual production needs, it is inevitable to develop a civil aviation "cargo science laboratory" when conditions are met.

At present, domestic air transportation of dangerous goods should be mentioned on the agenda. The author published an article last year on "The domestic air transportation of dangerous goods should be opened in due course". Mainly because the demand for dangerous goods transportation in the domestic air freight market is too large, and the growth is too fast. If you do not adopt the method of grooming, there may be an accident. You can first designate one or two carriers capable of carrying dangerous goods to carry dangerous goods on their domestic routes, or carry certain types of dangerous goods. With a view to clearing transshipment channels, to prevent artificial forgery and false reporting of product names To prevent dangerous goods from being entrained in common goods, causing potential safety hazards.

Establish a national expert committee for dangerous goods air transportation. Carry out exchanges and research with relevant experts of ICAO and IATA. Explore all issues related to the transportation of dangerous goods, such as policies and regulations, advanced technology, equipment, training and teaching. Answer and solve various problems encountered in production. Summarize and revise laws and regulations.
