Inflight Cargo Fire UPS, Philadelphia, USA:

I was working for UPS air operations at that time and luckily the
Philadelphia crew managed to land safely and to escape.<br>
Those colleagues on their way to Cologne/Bonn (Germany) were less
lucky: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__en.wikipedia.org_wiki_UPS-5FAirlines-5FFlight-5F6&d=DwMD-g&c=cjytLXgP8ixuoHflwc-poQ&r=LpYc_Z_iN1KRw0hheb3x6-8MJUMu482qfHowpGYJqwc&m=ZAC922-mliAhZOH7IzzlcFmySxIz3uNnOnknobIUmA4&s=eaugBWrYdRdqPTqZX2SEOXDEIs01cA3td15nyisLf9g&e=">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UPS_Airlines_Flight_6</a><br>
<br>
Be sure that the shipper of the parcel causing the fire was
traced.<br>
<br>
The ICAO/IATA exemptions will be revoked, if repeated
non-compliance is observed an recorded, regardless how compliant
the majority is.<br>
<br>
It should be in our vital interest to inform our colleagues to
meet the regulations. There is good reasons, why they are in
place. The IATA A180 exemption is not complicated at all, and I
bet all institutions are able to afford at least a household bag
sealer. <br>
<br>
Please spread the word and try to reach those, <i>who have been
doing it like that </i>[using zip-lock bags etc.] <i>for ages.</i>
We shouldn't loose ICAO/IATA alleviations because of uninformed
few.<br>
<br>
Once revoked, it will be very unlikely to get exempted again,
which will dramatically increase costs for institutions for
dangerous goods shipping and IATA certifications and yearly
requalification of staff. All those who once went through a IATA
certification process know what this means.<br>
<br>
All the best<br>

of this information and more is contained in the SPNHC wiki
page on Shipping dangerous goods. I have been trying to
consistently point people at that page as a way of
standardizing our best practices around this issue.
However, it does not get at those people who still insist on
doing things their own way – no matter how illegal or
illogical. I am also an advocate for emailing anyone who
sends material incorrectly to try and improve or correct
their practices. If the whole community did this we would
hopefully eventually attain parity and get everyone doing
things to correct way.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Below is the brief summary on one page on how to ship
alcohol specimens IATA conform (A180) from our shipping
workshop; please fell free to share it.<br>

********<br>
Printer friendly summary Special Provision A180<br>
<br>
Museum specimens such as mammals, birds, amphibians,
reptiles, fish,<br>
insects and other invertebrates, containing small quantities
of UN1170,<br>
UN1987 or UN1219, are not part of this regulations if
following packing and<br>
marking requirements are met: <br>
<br>
- specimens wrapped in alcohol soaked fabric or cheesecloth
are heat sealed in plastic bags, each<br>
welding contains not more then 30 ml of free liquid
(max. net drained volume), or<br>
- loose voucher specimens or tissues packed in rigid
containers (e.g. plastic tubes or vials); tubes must<br>
not contain more than 30ml free liquid (total
volume).<br>
- Specimen wrappings or containers are packed and heat
sealed in plastic bags (1st sealing)<br>
- Sealed samples are packed with sufficient absorbent in
plastic bags and sealed again (2nd sealing)<br>
***please refrain from using vermiculite as absorbent
material***<br>
- Sealed samples are packed with sufficient cushioning
material in stable packaging (drop test 1.2 m / 4 ft)<br>
- Complete consignment is marked legible and durable with
“scientific research specimens,<br>
not restricted, special provision A180 applies” on
same side that carries address information<br>
- Same wording is displayed in the “Description of Goods”
field if an (air) waybill is issued<br>

would wholeheartedly endorse this but also go a step
further in mentioning that the IATA regulations that
govern the shipping of excepted quantities of flammable
liquids through IATA Special Provision A180 expressly
require heat sealing of both inner and outer bags (or
other positive closure such as screw top vial) as part of
their packing instructions along with maximum quantities
of ethanol in both inner and outer packages. As such
Zip-Lock bags of any sort of tying closed bags with string
or rubber bands is forbidden and should not be used.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">DOT
regulations that govern domestic shipping require that
each inner and outer packaging be securely closed with
wire, tape or other positive means. A Zip-Lock bag does
fit that decription.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

have been informed by my contacts at DOT and IATA that if
packages sent by the museum community using these
regulations are found to be in defiance of the regulation
we run the risk of having these exceptions rescinded and
we will be back to square one of being unable to ship
materials through the mail. I do not want all of our years
of hard work to be for naught.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">This
morning, once again, I am unpacking a leaking box of
specimens, a loan return. I would like to make a
special appeal that fluid preserved specimens NOT be
shipped in zip-lock food storage bags---at all---but if
they are used, zip-lock bags should NOT be used as an
"outside bag"---i.e., the bag that must hold fluid if
the first bags leak. Not sure if they still do this,
but carriers like USPS, UPS or FedEx used claim that
they would discard packages if the package was leaking
fluid. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">A
zip-lock can be used as a first bag, to hold specimens
wrapped in cheesecloth or toweling, but the
<u>outer bag</u> that holds the individual
collections should be a 4-mil plastic bag with a <u>sealed</u>
top. A sealed top can be accomplished using a
heat sealer to seal top (no folds or wrinkles) and
testing that seal by pressing on the bag and checking
for air escape. If a heat sealer is not available, the
top can be tightly twisted, folded over and tied off
with string (not rubber bands.) I have successfully
used this twist top seal on bags of specimens fixing in
formalin and transported out of the field. Attached
is a pdf demonstrating the seal. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
