<h1>A Guide to IMDG and IATA Training Programs</h1><strong> Author: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/profile_Tory Black.aspx'>Tory Black</a></strong><br /><p>There are many companies and officials working in these companies who are involved in producing and transporting hazardous materials from one place to another on daily basis. It is important to carry these harmful goods by obeying certain rules and regulations. It is very important for the people involved in handling of hazardous materials to have complete knowledge about them and safety measures to protect mankind as well as environment. In order to provide people complete knowledge of hazardous materials a training program known as IMDG or International Maritime Dangerous Goods have been introduced. IMDG training program is an effective safety program which has been designed for all those officials who are involved in transporting of hazardous materials from one place to another through sea. IMDG provides all information about the booking procedures and major shipping processes. All these information is very essential for a person involved in handling of hazardous materials and it is also important for them to understand all IMDG rules and regulations. The companies and officials working there must follow these rules and regulations so as to protect the environment and mankind because even a small mistake can lead to serious mishap. IMDG training program also provides information about packaging, labeling and classifying these hazardous materials. We are using hazardous materials in our daily lives in some way or the other because if checked individually there are many products that contain hazardous materials. Problem actually arises when these materials are required to be transported from one place to another. These products can react with other elements while in transport and can cause harm to the environment and human beings. When these goods are transported through airways it is important for the companies and officials to follow the rules and regulations laid down by IATA or International Air Transport Association to ensure safety of others. Transportation of hazardous materials through airways is very risky and that is why IATA has laid down strict guidelines that are mandatory to follow. The harmful goods are packed in special containers according to the instructions given by IATA. As safety measures many hazardous materials professionals are sent along with the harmful goods when they are transported through airways. IATA also provides trainings to these officials who are involved in handling of hazardous materials. According to IATA instructions the professionals traveling in airways carrying hazardous materials must wear special hazmat dressing. Thus, IMDG and IATA training programs are really useful for the people dealing in hazmat goods.</p><strong>About the Author:</strong><br />Tory Black has over 5 years of field and operations experience in transportation, specializing in <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.learnhazmat.com/">IATA</a>, dangerous goods and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.learnhazmat.com/">IMDG</a>.
