DGR Handling (Dangerous Goods)

DGR handling refers to the safe and compliant transport of dangerous goods (hazardous materials) in accordance with the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR). These regulations are published by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and are recognized as the global standard for airfreight of dangerous goods.

Several parties can be involved in DGR handling, each with specific responsibilities:

• Shippers: Responsible for classifying, packaging, marking, labeling, and documenting their dangerous goods, and providing required information to airlines.
• Airlines: Set limitations on what dangerous goods can be transported and establish specific handling procedures.
• Ground Handling Agents: Load and unload dangerous goods onto and off aircraft, ensuring compliance with regulations.
• Freight Forwarders: Assist shippers with preparing and documenting dangerous goods shipments
