The National Air Transportation Association (NATA) has expanded its industry-standard Safety 1st online training course offerings with three new programs, dealing with the safe handling of Hazmat/dangerous goods and regulated garbage. The Hazmat Will-Carry course meets requirements for aircraft operators that choose to transport such goods, while the Hazmat Will-Not-Carry will help train employees on how to interpret and identify the classifications and markings associated with dangerous goods as well as reviews definitions, terms, regulations and standards. Both provide additional resources and checklists. The Regulated Garbage Handling program will advise line staff about the proper handling and disposal of aircraft regulated garbage such as plant and animal products from international catering, and assist businesses in meeting the training requirements to stay compliant with current USDA regulations.
“The handling of Hazmat and regulated garbage carries serious penalties and consequences if done improperly,” said NATA president and CEO Thomas Hendricks. “NATA Safety 1st, as the leading provider of training for aviation businesses, is proud to expand our online training program to include these vital topics.”
