TDG Courses - Lithium Batteries

Overview of Lithium Battery Courses

IATA Air Function Specific Training and Multimodal Overview $195 ~ 3 hours Click here to register

Includes the General Awareness, Safety and Security “Core” course which is mandatory for all training, and the IATA Function Specific Module for air shipping of lithium batteries.

HOWEVER this program also includes a multimodal overview of how the training in this one course could be used for shipping by ALL modes of transport.  Some companies may wish to adopt one method of shipping lithium batteries.  Here’s an example for shipping a laptop computer with a spare battery:

IATA Method: (1) Lithium Battery Handling Label, (2) Documentation (i.e. awb), (3) Emergency phone number

DOT Method: (1) Nothing.  If there are less than 12 batteries or 24 cells in a package you don’t need anything.

IMDG Method: (1) Lithium Battery Handling Label, (2) Documentation (i.e. awb), (3) Emergency phone number (this is the same as IATA)

So, if you wanted to use one method to ship by all three modes, then you just follow the IATA rules even though, technically, you could ship under DOT with nothing at all.

This greatly reduces the risk of an employee getting the modal exceptions mixed up and accidentally shipping something incorrectly.
