Check-in Agent’s Responsibility

Agents are to make passengers aware of dangerous goods items that are not allowed on the aircraft and ask passengers if they have any of those items packed in their baggage. When a check-in agent suspects that a bag or baggage contains dangerous goods, they are to question the passenger regarding the contents of the bag(s).

Airport Security Screening Check-Point

Generally, airlines are responsible for ensuring that security-screening checkpoint staff receive up-to-date dangerous goods training. This will assist them in preventing dangerous goods from going on the aircraft, in carry-on baggage.

Undeclared or Mis-declared Dangerous Goods

Airlines are required to report any undeclared or mis-declared dangerous goods discovered in cargo or passenger baggage to the regulatory authority.

Dangerous Goods Hazard & Handling Labels

The United Nations has categorized dangerous goods into nine hazard classes relating to the type of hazard within the class. The classes have each been assigned a United Nations number and hazard labels.

Handling labels are also used on some dangerous goods packages to provide correct and safe handling procedures for these packages.
