A brochure on the potential risks associated with shipping paint by air or carrying paint aboard a passenger aircraft. The brochure's most important message is the improper shipment of paint or paint products by means of air transport could be extremely dangerous and costly. The brochure explains that paint is often considered a dangerous good and therefore must be properly classified, packaged, marked, labeled and documented in accordance with applicable hazardous material regulations. These regulations also require specialized training for those persons that ship paint. "Paint Doesn't Fly" also provides contacts for further information. ACA recommends that this brochure be sent to locations or persons responsible for the shipment of paint, including stored, warehouses, salespeople and customers as well.
