Cabin Crew Dangerous Goods Training

Cabin crew are the in-flight safety officers for passengers and the cabin environment. They are regularly confronted with dangerous goods — lithium battery fires in portable electronic devices, e-cigarettes stowed in seat pockets, aerosol cans discharging in overhead lockers, and passengers who become unwell from fumes or spills. Cabin crew must recognise these situations for what they are, because a lithium battery fire in the cabin requires a different response to an ordinary fire, and the margin for error is measured in seconds.

Our cabin crew training addresses IATA DGR Table 1.5.A, function 7.9 — the competencies required for cabin crew members. The course covers:

– Recognising dangerous goods that passengers may bring on board — in hand luggage, on their person, or purchased after security
– The correct emergency response to lithium battery fires, including when and how to use a fire containment bag
– Identifying and responding to fumes, smoke, spills, and leaks from dangerous goods in the cabin
– Understanding the information available to cabin crew from the NOTOC and how to interpret it during an incident
– Procedures for communicating dangerous goods incidents to the flight deck and coordinating the cabin response
– What cabin crew must report after any dangerous goods incident for regulatory compliance and safety investigation

This course is CAA approved, delivered online, with remote examination. It is suitable for cabin crew at all levels — initial certification and revalidation — and can be completed around flying rosters.
