Canadian Aerial Applicators Association

Transportation of Dangerous Goods By Air

Did you know that most products carried by aerial applicators do not meet the definition of a dangerous good. However, it is important to stress the responsibility of each individual applicator to determine if the product carried in their aircraft is considered a dangerous good.

To help our members determine the types of materials that are considered dangerous goods, the CAAA has developed a program to show the three criteria applied to products in accordance with the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations:

These criteria can be found in the CAAA’s Transportation of Dangerous Goods Table, which can be accessed in our Members area.

The CAAA suggests you use the table to check the products you apply throughout the year. If any products that are applied are not listed on the table they can be added by contacting the CAAA office.

 If any of the products you apply are considered a dangerous good, you are required to submit a new Dangerous Goods chapter for your Operations Manual to Transport Canada and provide appropriate Dangerous Goods Training for all employees.
