Dangerous Goods in Aircraft Ramp Handling Process

Prihvat i otprema opasnih roba složen je proces koji se bitno razlikuje od procesa i otpreme običnih tereta. Za prihvat i otpremu opasnih roba potrebno je dobro poznavanje pravilnika i procedura, a osim toga i poznavanje specifikacija samih opasnih roba. Najvažniji pravilnik koji klasificira opasne robe na devet klasa, sadrži njihove tehničke specifikacije i opisuje svaku moguću situaciju s opasnim robama je IATA Pravilnik o opasnim robama (engl. Dangerous Goods Regulation, DGR). U Pravilniku o opasnim robama nalaze se i instrukcije o pakiranju i označavanju opasne robe, a tu su propisane i potrebne razine certificiranja svih osoba koje na bilo koji način sudjeluju u procesu prihvata i otpreme opasne robe. Nadalje, kod prihvata i otpreme opasnih roba značajan segment predstavlja dokumentacija cjelokupnog procesa. U dokumentaciji je neophodno ispuniti deklaraciju o prijevozu opasnih roba i prateći zračni teretni list koji se kao i sama opasna roba pregledava prema kontrolnim listama. Također za otpremu opasnih roba važan je i NOTOC kojim se kapetan zrakoplova obavještava o opasnim robama koje prevozi.Ramp handling of dangerous goods is a complex process that is significantly different from the ramp handling processes of typical cargo. For ramp handling process of dangerous goods it is necessary to have a good knowledge of rules and procedures, and besides that also a knowledge of specification of dangerous goods themselves. The most important regulation classifying dangerous goods into nine classes containing their technical specifications and describing any possible situation that includes dangerous goods is IATA Dangerous Goods Regulation, DGR. Dangerous Goods Regulation also describes all the instructions regarding packaging and labelling dangerous goods as well as required levels of certification for all personnel involved in ramp handling process of dangerous goods. Furthermore, in ramp handling of dangerous goods the documentation is of big importance. It is necessary to fill in the Dangerous Goods Declaration and the following Air Waybill which is controlled according to the adequate checklists as well as the dangerous goods themselves. And finally, for ramp handling of dangerous goods it is important that the captain is informed about the dangerous goods which are transported in the aircraft
