Shipping with Dry Ice

This Dry Ice Shipping Training Online Course has been designed with specific exercises related to the transportation of dry ice ("carbon dioxide, solid") by air from a shipper's perspective. Our 10 step approach encompasses all of the activities which must be addressed when preparing dry ice for shipment by air. This course has been updated to include recent changes to the regulations, using the 62nd Edition of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations.

This course is recommended for individuals who ship dry ice in packaging that does not contain other dangerous goods.

The course meets the requirements for training as specified in Section 1.5 of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations and 49 CFR 172 Subpart H, including testing of participants.

While it's not required, you might find it helpful to follow along with a current copy of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (and we highly recommend having a copy of the DGR handy if you ship any dangerous goods by air). If you are in need of an up-to-date version of the regulations, you can select to include the price of the book in your registration fee or call us at (919) 246-4847 to order a copy separately. The price of the book includes shipping.

Training Requirement



Citation: IATA DGR Section 1.5

Section 1.5.1.3 of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations requires that:

"Recurrent training must take place within 24 months of previous training to ensure knowledge is current..."

How Often Does IATA Dry Ice Training Need to Be Updated?


Dry Ice Shipping training must be refreshed every other year. Because regulations for dry ice shipping and general hazmat shipping change frequently, refresher training must be completed every two years to comply with IATA regulations.




Refresher Training Required: Every 2 year(s).
