Slide 1: The UN aviation recommendations regarding the special instructions that

should be available in an emergency are not exhaustive.

Slide 2: Airport management and operators must establish emergency procedures and
make them available wherever dangerous goods are handled. These procedures must
specify responses from different categories of personnel in the event of accidental
damage involving dangerous goods. All personnel who handle dangerous goods must
undergo training on a regular basis, according to IATA, DGR, which means that
recurrent courses in dangerous goods must be held every second year.
Slide 3: Should problems involving dangerous goods arise on board an aeroplane that
left the terminal building or in flight. Assistance or advice may be needed before
departure. Assistance may be obtained using the company frequency or air traffic
services. Wherever possible, return to the ramp and coordinate with ground staff.
Slide 4: A lithium battery fire should not be treated as a class D fire. Fire in metal
fighting. A fire that contains lithium batteries requires one removing external electrical
power from device if applicable, to extinguishing the fire, and three cooling of the
remaining cells to stop the thermal runaway.
Slide 5: Halon or halon replacement and or water fire extinguishers can be used to
control the fire and prevent its spread to surrounding flammable materials. This should
be followed by immediate dousing with water or other non flammable liquid from any
available source to douse the fire. Monitor for reoccurrence and continue to pour non
flammable liquids to cool cells until cooled. Examples of non flammable liquids. Water,
juice. Coffee, tea, etcetera. Do not use flammable liquids, alcohol oils or products
containing alcohol and or oils.
Slide 6: Dousing with non-flammable liquids prevents adjacent cells from overheating.
A battery pack involved in a fire can reignite multiple times as the heat is transferred to
other cells in the pack. The device should be continually cooled with non- flammable
liquids.
Slide 7: In the air. Put on oxygen masks with smoke goggles if necessary. Turn on the
no smoking sign. Consider landing as soon as possible and attempt to determine the
source of the smoke and fumes or fire.
Slide 8: After landing disembark passengers and crew before opening any cargo
compartments. Inform ground emergency services. Make the appropriate entry in the
maintenance log, and report the accident or incident to the civil aviation authorities.
Slide 9: Despite every safety precaution, a passenger may contravene the law and
carry dangerous goods on board. Should cabin personnel find an item that could be
dangerous, for instance, a car battery or some type of fluid? They should use the
dangerous goods emergency checklist or equivalent company document or procedure.
Slide 10: The checklist contains information advising cabin crew how to act should
they discover dangerous goods in the cabin. If there's a dangerous goods kit on board,
they should use it. This kit contains sealable plastic bags and plastic gloves.
Slide 11: Those operators which use emergency response guidance for aircraft
incident involving dangerous goods should follow the checklists in the guidance. Other
operators not using the guidance should use the procedures in their operations
manuals.
Slide 12: Prohibited dangerous goods may inadvertently be carried in baggage by
passengers. If the dangerous goods are not found at baggage x ray and dealt with
accordingly, it may be carried on board an aircraft. As long as the aircraft is on the
ground, it is easy to leave items behind. Observe boarding passengers. If for any
reason you become suspicious, ask the passenger about the contents of his hand
luggage.
Slide 13: Identifying items. Ask the passenger concerned to identify the item and
indicate its potential hazard or hazards. The passenger may be able to give some
guidance on the hazard or hazards involved and how they could be dealt with. If the
passenger can identify the item, try to obtain the proper shipping name of the
substance and pass this information to the commander.
Slide 14: Notify commander. The commander should be notified immediately of any
incident concerning dangerous goods. The commander should be especially informed
of the odor, color, material, stain label and gas flow if any of the dangerous goods
found on board. It is of vital importance that the cabin and the flight crew coordinate
their actions.
Slide 15: Move passengers away from the area. The cabin crew should take prompt
action and move passengers away from the area in which dangerous goods were
found. It should be remembered that when receiving groups of passengers, the
commander must be informed before such reseating is to take place. If necessary, in
the case of smoke or any other particular odor coming from the dangerous goods
provide wet towels or cloths to the passengers and instruct them to bend down and
breathe through the wetted materials.
Slide 16: Wear gloves and smoke hood. Hands should be protected before touching
suspicious package items. Use the protective gloves covered by polyethylene bags.
Protective breathing equipment should always be worn when attending to an incident
involving smoke, fumes or fire.
Slide 17: Store the dangerous goods. If it is absolutely certain that the item will not
create a problem, the decision may be to not move the item. In most circumstances,
however, it will be better to move the item and this should be done as follows. Prepare
two bags by rolling up the side and placing them on the floor. Put the dangerous goods
in the first bag with the broken part or opening facing upwards.
Slide 18: Use paper towels, newspapers and or absorbent fabrics to mop up the
spillage. Put used materials and all materials that become contaminated when removing
the dangerous goods in the same bag. Close the first bag and expel excessive air. Twist
the open end of the first bag and use a binder to tie it sufficiently tight so that pressure
equalization can still take place. Take off the gloves while avoiding skin contact with any
contamination on them. Put them into the second plastic bag. Place the first bag in the
second bag and tie the second bag.
Slide 19: Stow the plastic bags in an appropriate location. Move the dangerous goods
as far away as possible from the flight deck and passengers. Make sure that the
dangerous goods item is kept upright in order to avoid spillage or leakage. Whenever
possible, place the bag in the laboratory waste container as there is an automatic halon
fire extinguisher installed. In such case, contents of the waste bin should be removed
prior to dangerous goods installation.
Slide 20: The toilets are also separately ventilated. Should the waste container be too
small? Use an empty catering trolley. Put the bag inside and if possible, separate from
the other trolleys in the safe lock position. If necessary, the bag or box could be stowed
in a rear galley. Wherever the box or bag has been located, wedge firmly in place to
prevent it from moving and keep it upright. However, do not place it against the
pressurised bulkhead or fuselage wall.
Slide 21: If dangerous goods cannot be collected or removed, leave everything
undisturbed. Do not use fire extinguisher or water. Cover the area with polyethylene
plastic bags. Isolate the area until after landing.
Slide 22: Treat any affected seat cushions covers in the same manner as dangerous
goods item. Seat cushions, setbacks, or other furnishings which have been
contaminated by a spillage should be removed from the fixtures and placed in a plastic
bag. The bag should be stowed away in the same manner as the dangerous goods item
causing the incident. Cover any spillage on the carpet or furnishing with a plastic bag. If
not, use airsickness bags opened out so that the water resistant side covers the spillage
or use the plastic covered safety card.
Slide 23: Carpet which has been contaminated by spillage and which is still causing
fumes despite being covered, should be rolled up if possible, and placed in a large bin
bag or another plastic bag. It should be placed in a waste bin and stowed when
possible, either in the rear toilet or rear galley. If carpet cannot be removed, it should
remain covered by a large bin bag or plastic bag. Et cetera. And additional bags should
be used to reduce the fumes.
Slide 24: Regularly inspect items stowed away. Contaminated furnishings. Any
dangerous goods item, contaminated furnishings or equipment which has been
removed and stowed away or covered for safety, should be subject to regular
inspections.
Slide 25: Make an appropriate report. Make a report so that proper maintenance action
is undertaken and aircraft equipment can be replaced when appropriate.
Slide 26: Identify to ground personnel the dangerous goods item and where it was
stowed. Inform ground personnel about incident and the location of the affected item or
material. Standard emergency procedures must be dealt with with any fire in general,
water should not be used on spillage or when fumes are present, since it may spread
the spillage or increase the rate of fuming. Consideration should also be given to the
possible presence of electrical components when using water.
Slide 27: An operator must report to the appropriate authority of the state of the
operator on any occasion when a dangerous goods are discovered to have been carried
when not loaded, segregated, separated or secured correctly. B Dangerous goods are
discovered to have been carried without information having been provided to the pilot in
command.
Slide 28: If an accident or incident occurs involving dangerous goods, the operator
must report it to the authorities in its own country and the authorities in the country
where the accident or incident occurred. The report must be in accordance with
reporting requirements of those appropriate authorities. The reporting address is w-w-w
DOT Aviation reporting.eu. The national authorities will then receive the report from the
EU.
Slide 29: An operator must also report any occasion when dangerous goods not
permitted, carried by passengers or crew are discovered either in the baggage or on the
person of passengers or crew members. Such a report must be made to the appropriate
authority of the state in which this occurred.
