CABIN CREW AWARENESS
Be alert for any dangerous goods that may be brought on to the aircraft by passengers, or crew whether intentionally or not. Many passengers are not aware of the regulations regarding their carriage and use, even though these are printed on each ticket.
For example:
• Sales representatives may have reinforced sample cases containing vaccines or industrial chemical samples.
• Self-heating ready-to-eat meals are widely available in supermarkets and specialist camping stores worldwide, but are not permitted to be carried, used or consumed on board at any time.
• Many household cleaning/laundry liquids contain bleaches and peroxides. When carried together, cross contamination may create toxic fumes.
Possible signs of the presence of dangerous goods could be determined by: • A bad smell or odor • Abnormal noise e.g. escaping gas • Certain types of passenger carry-on bags or backpacks may have camping gas equipment
• Extremely hot spots on the cabin floor may indicate a problem with dangerous goods carried as cargo
REPORTING PROCEDURES
Any type of dangerous goods incident or accident must be reported, irrespective of whether the dangerous goods were contained in cargo, passengers’ baggage or crew baggage. The finding of undeclared or mis-declared dangerous goods in cargo, mail or baggage must also be reported.
