International Air Transport Association (IATA) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) are regulatory authorities for dangerous goods transportation.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not sure
• D. Only IATA is regulatory

Answer: (B)

Regulatory control of dangerous goods transport comes from government or international authorities, not from an industry association. IATA is an industry group that publishes the Dangerous Goods Regulations to help shippers and carriers comply with the rules, but it does not itself create binding law. OSHA in the United States focuses on workplace safety and handling of hazardous materials within the workplace, not on the rules governing moving those goods in transit. The actual rules for air transport are set by international bodies like ICAO (Technical Instructions) and enforced by national authorities such as PHMSA and FAA in the U.S., with many countries adopting IATA’s DGR as a practical standard that supports those regulations. Therefore, the statement isn’t correct.
