DANGEROUS GOODS

You have an important role in protecting the aircraft. It starts with cargo
safety. Anything added to an aircraft can introduce risk. Dangerous goods, also
known as Hazardous Materials, and other cargo and luggage can contribute to
catastrophic incidents when things go wrong. The risk starts well before the
airport. Cargo safety and preventing undeclared dangerous goods is everyone's
responsibility. Explore our resources. Learn to identify common dangerous goods,
how to manage risk, and how to ship and travel safely!
