Where is one copy of the Shippers declaration for dangerous goods supposed to be attached?

The Shippers declaration for dangerous goods plays a critical role in ensuring the safe transport of hazardous materials. Attaching one copy of this declaration to the aircraft manifest is necessary because the manifest serves as an official record of all cargo loaded onto the aircraft. This integration allows flight crews and ground personnel to have immediate access to essential information about the dangerous goods on board, facilitating proper handling and compliance with safety regulations.

This process enhances safety by ensuring that everyone involved in the transport is fully informed of the potential risks associated with the cargo. Additionally, having the declaration with the manifest ensures that emergency responders will have the information they need in the event of an incident. Other methods of attachment, such as attaching the declaration to the cargo, the flight plan, or the airport terminal, do not ensure that all necessary personnel are informed or able to reference the declaration when needed.
