What is a Dangerous Goods Inspector?
A dangerous goods inspector plays a critical role in ensuring the safe transportation and handling of hazardous materials and dangerous goods within the aviation industry. They are responsible for inspecting and enforcing compliance with regulations and standards governing the packaging, labelling, documentation, and transportation of dangerous goods by air. Dangerous goods inspectors assess the adherence of airlines, cargo operators, and other stakeholders to safety protocols, proper handling procedures, and regulatory requirements. They verify that appropriate training, documentation, and safety measures are in place to prevent accidents, protect personnel, and safeguard the environment. By conducting inspections and providing guidance, dangerous goods inspectors contribute to maintaining the highest levels of safety and security in the transportation of hazardous materials by air.
