THE ROLE OF WORKER NGOs IN ENSURING SAFETY IN THE TRANSPORT OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL: A view from IFALPA

摘要

The paper elaborates on the role that airline pilots play in facilitating the safe transport of radioactive material and how the International Federation of Air Line Pilots Associations (IFALPA) uses a Dangerous Goods Committee to address radioactive-material transport issues. Through this committee, the interests of the pilots are carried to the regulatory bodies, and information from those bodies is carried back to the pilots. The function of IFALPA and its Dangerous Goods Committee are described, and a viewpoint of the end-users of the Regulations is provided.
