Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR)
Talentbruecke
Enrollment in this course is by invitation only
What this course is
A self-study module on the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) for the DG Loader
function at the DHL Hub Leipzig: handling shipments in the warehouse, loading and unloading ULDs and
aircraft cargo compartments, including radioactive material.
Important: this is a familiarisation module. It does not certify you and does not
allow you to perform any dangerous goods function independently — in particular no Conformity
Check, Initial Check or Formal DG Acceptance Check. Your classroom training in Germany, with its formal assessments, is what qualifies you.
Who it is for
Future staff in cargo handling at the DHL Hub Leipzig. No prior knowledge of dangerous goods is
required.
The course is in English, because the certification exam is in English. Every chapter includes a
glossary with Spanish translations of the technical terms, so you can build the vocabulary you
will need in the classroom training and on the ramp.
