You will find out what restrictions are in place for air transport and gain knowledge of how to proceed in emergency situations.You will learn not only about the regulations concerning lithium batteries, but also about other types of batteries classified as hazardous, such as wet batteries (lead-acid, lead-alkali, non-spillable); dry batteries (alkaline, Ni-Cd, etc.); and vehicles and equipment powered by batteries.
Personnel who are involved with lithium battery transport in equipment (e.g., battery-powered vehicles or electronic devices such as laptops and cell phones that run on lithium batteries) must complete DOT / IATA / IMDG lithium battery training. This includes professionals who prepare Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous goods, package shipments of equipment containing lithium batteries, and apply marks and labels to packages containing lithium batteries.
The responsibility for safe handling of lithium batteries and cells rests not only with those who prepare and manage the shipment, but also with those who receive such shipments. All employees who are involved with air, ground, or sea transport of lithium batteries or cells, or other battery types categorized as hazmat, must complete DOT / IATA / IMDG lithium battery training.All employees involved with the transportation of batteries–whether preparing shipments, actively transporting them, or receiving them, must maintain proper protocol to avoid safety incidents.Industries that Require HazMat 49 CFR Parts 100-185 Training
Personnel in a variety of industries are required to complete DOT / IATA / IMDG lithium battery training. These include battery assemblers, cell and battery manufacturers, battery packers and shippers, and any other individuals who handle shipments of lithium batteries or other batteries categorized as hazardous.Shipper Secrets’s online DOT, IATA, and IMDG lithium battery training will prepare professionals in a wide range of industries to safely and successfully transport lithium batteries and cells, whether shipped by themselves, contained in equipment, or shipped with equipment.
