Development of industry in our country and the needs of the plant raw material needs of an increasingly significant, more and make every industry speed up getting the raw materials that in fact originate from different regions is different, and to condense the time of delivery was sometimes raw materials are sent by air, land or sea.
The raw materials are sometimes requiring special treatment due to the transport of compounds or content of the goods / materials that can harm the health, safety of lives and property, or more often called Dangerous GOODS.
To avoid things that are not desirable then the Indonesian government made a rule of rules that govern how the transport and treatment of Dangerous Goods (DG) is In flight rules / airlift provided for in the Decree of Director General of Civil Aviation No: SKEP/275/XII/1998. About transportation of materials and / or dangerous goods by air, which refers to the international rules of ICAO Annex 18 The Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by air, and the Technical Instruction Document 9284-AN/905 The Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air (in the form of technical instructions), coupled with Document 9481-AN/928 Emergency Response Guidance for Aircraft incidents Involving Dangerous Goods (emergency instructions when the aircraft experienced accidents due to DG). In addition to the above in the international aviation are set well within the IATA (International Air Transport Association)

 Dangerous goods themselves are divided into 9 (nine classes)

  1. I think one of the things that a worker being involved in this kind of industry should have is the right dangerous goods training. By educating the workers about the hazards at work and how to handle them, operations will definitely be better and accidents and delays will be avoided.

  2. @john...absolutely right,,,,, the department of transportation in Indonesia has laws on dangerous goods training, and was obliged by every worker in the field, and after passing the training will be issued a licensed (SKP). regulated by SKEP/293/XI/1999 (sertifikat kecakapan petugas penanganan bahan dan atau barang berbahaya dengan pesawat udara)
