When you sign an air waybill or bill of lading you are signing a legal document stating that, unless otherwise declared, the shipment does not contain dangerous goods. If you package a shipment, then you know exactly what’s being transported. However, if you are accepting cargo packaged by someone else, then there’s the potential for mistakes, and for undeclared DG to slip through the safety net. So, question everything. What’s in the box?
We can’t control a hazard if we don’t know it’s there.
Don’t forget that if you’d like to download, print and use the posters, clean versions (without our marketing blurb) can be found on our website https://www.airsafe.com.au/if-movies-wer-e-about-dg
We don’t want mayhem and destruction in the warehouse, or on an aircraft. So, don’t inadvertently break the three important rules: No undeclared DG in cargo, no misleading marks and labels on packages, and shine a strong light on what’s in your freight with clear and accurate descriptions.
Is that Mogwai or Mischa checking that box?
