International legislation regarding transport of dangerous

goods by air.


International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Annex 18 Technical Instructions

Background on CBT

• First introduction by ICAO of competency based training provisions

(Procedures for Air Navigation Services – Training (PANS-TRG, Doc 9868) in 2006.

• ICAO strategy towards aviation training in Assembly Resolution A38-12.

• CBT assessment guidance developed for several aviation functions.


Background on CBT

Dangerous Goods (DG)

• ICAO Audit results have shown that personnel is often not properly trained in dangerous goods.

• CBT ensures that personnel is trained to perform their designated functions competently.



What is CBT?

CBT versus traditional training

Traditional training Conventional dangerous goods training is typically designed around the job title and is subject-matter driven

CBT CBT is designed to ensure that trainees are able to perform their job and is function driven.


Fundamental elements of CBT

1. Determine what employees need to do -Conduct a task analysis

2. Determine how well it needs to be done - Set performance standards based on regulatory and business requirements

3. Train them to do it -Demonstration & Practice

4. Verify they can do it

-Assess Performance


Roles and responsibilities in CBT

• Employer

• Instructor

• Trainee

• Regulator


Benefits of CBT

• Supports Safety Management Systems (SMS) • Improves performance on the job

• Facilitates development of effective dangerous goods

training and reduces risks


Proposed changes to the ICAO dangerous goods training provisions



GOAL

• Clarifying the intent of the training provisions

• To prevent conflicts with the principle of CBT

• Encourage CBT, however it will not become mandatory (it is the

intention to make it mandatory in the future)



• The employer must ensure that personnel are competent to perform the dangerous goods functions for which they are responsible prior to performing any of these functions.

• This must be achieved through training and assessment



• Removal of all references to job titles in Chapter 4 of the Technical Instructions (TIs).

• Replaced by “functions” in the TIs (new 4.1.1).



Removal of the current training tables

• Tables often considered as mandatory requirements

• Contradicts with principle of “commensurate with your responsibility” and CBT.



Removal of the current training tables

• Table 1-4 and 1-5 in the TIs refer only to the aspects of knowledge.

• Table 1-4 and 1-5 are job specific.



Assessment

1. TIs currently only refers to “test”.

2. A test is just one method of assessing required competence.

3. Replacing “test” with “assessment” provides for more flexibility to demonstrate the required competence is achieved.



Summary

1. Removal of the training tables

2. “Test” is replaced by “Assessment”

3. The proposed changes will currently only encourage CBT (intention to make it mandatory in the future)



• Proposed amendments to the training provisions are published on the

ICAO DG website for information purposes and to welcome comments.

• Deadline for comments: March 31, 2017.

• WG on training will consider the comments and present them to the ICAO DGP.

• A list of questions is provided to assist different stakeholders and to facilitate the structuring of the comments. 20 7 September 2016 Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment

Guidance on a competency based approach to DG

training


Guidance for the development of DG training using a competency based approach


DRIVING PRINCIPLE: FUNCTION APPROACH


• A tool to assist identifying functions.

• A basic competency framework for dangerous goods personnel is provided in the guidance.


Structure of a competency based framework

• Competency units • Competency elements • Performance criteria.



Definitions

• Competency unit. A discrete function consisting of a number of competency elements.

• Competency element. An action that constitutes a task that has a triggering

event and a terminating event that clearly defines its limits, and an observable outcome.

• Performance criteria. Simple, evaluative statements on the required outcome

of the competency element and a description of the criteria used to judge whether the required level of performance has been achieved.



Competency Units

1. Classifying 2. Preparing DG shipment 3. Accepting cargo 4. Managing cargo pre-loading 5. Accepting passengers & crew baggage 6. Transporting cargo & baggage
