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.
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.
