 GENERAL PHILOSOPHY
Many items and substances, can pose a hazard when transported by air. Due to the environmental factors, these
substances may break or leak, leading to fires or discharge of toxic fumes.

As aircrew, we must be aware of the nature of dangerous goods. We have to be able to recognize them, and
respond to any associated threats.

In aviation, incidents related to preparation and packaging of dangerous goods, are low. The majority of incidents,
are related to passengers baggage, and undeclared cargo.

The carriage of dangerous goods is strictly controlled, and a number of limitations are placed on air transport.
Some dangerous goods are too dangerous to be carried by aircraft, other dangerous goods may be ordinarily
permitted to be transported by air but certain regulations must be strictly followed.
Some dangerous goods are permitted on cargo aircraft only, some other are accepted on both passenger and cargo
aircraft.

Our fleet and scope of operations, allow only the third of these categories. If something is not allowed to be
carried at all, or it’s allowed on cargo aircraft only, it means that it definitely should not travel on our scheduled
flights.

All Ryanair group airlines have full endorsement to carry dangerous goods, as long as they follow the regulatory
requirements, it is however the group’s policy, to only carry our own dangerous goods, for example spare parts, and
third party cargo is not carried.

2
The Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods are provided by - ICAO – International Civil
Aviation Organisation.
The International Air Transport Association or IATA publishes an easy to use manual based on ICAO Technical
Instructions to help us classify, mark, pack, label and document dangerous goods shipments.

RYANAIR RESTRICTIONS
SEP manual 8.1

AMMUNITIONS
The carriage of firearms, including sporting weapons, or ammunition is not ordinarily
permitted on a Ryanair Group aircraft.
Exemption may be granted only for armed escorts or diplomatic protection officers
and only for carriage of these items in the hold.

MEDICAL OXYGEN
Passengers are not permitted to bring their own medical oxygen on board.
We can will supply a bottle of portable oxygen for the passenger as Ryanair
Group aircraft carry more than the minimum requirement of portable
oxygen. There is a charge for this facility.
O2 bottles which form part of the permanent equipment of aircraft and have
been manufactured specifically for containing O2.
Ryanair does not approve O2 bottles that passengers bring on board as when
required it can be prebooked. Alternatively approved POC can be used
instead.

3
 HUMAN REMAINS
We carry human remains on selected flights. Ryanair Group Operators
will only accept human remains from a regulated agent.

ORGANS
Organs that are NOT packed in dry ice must be stowed in the flight deck. Organs
that are packed in dry ice must be stowed in the cabin either in an empty bar box,
hatbin or behind trolleys if size permits. This is always subject to the Captain’s
approval.

ASHES
The carriage of ashes is permitted as long as they are securely packaged in a suitable
container with a screw top or lid. Ashes should be carried as cabin baggage and in
addition to the normal cabin baggage allowance.

ARTICLES AND SUBSTANCES WHICH WOULD OTHERWISE BE CLASSED AS

DANGEROUS GOODS
when carried for use in flight for medical aid for a patient are exempted from
Technical Instructions, provided certain conditions are met.
What is carried will depend on the needs of the patient. Such equipment may include
for example gas cylinders, drugs or lithium batteries and Ryanair Group approves
these on case by case basis.

CLASSIFICATION OF DG

4
There are 9 classes of Dangerous Goods. Some of these classes are further subdivided into hazard divisions due to
the wide scope of the class. Each class indicates the type of hazard which is associated with each Dangerous Good.

• Class 1 Explosives
Fireworks, Christmas Crackers or Party Poppers etc.
• Class 2 Gases
Fire Extinguishers, Portable Oxygen or Camping Gas
• Class3 Flammable liquids
Petrol, lighter fluid, alcohol or perfumes etc.
• Class 4 Flammable solids;
Substances Liable to Spontaneous Combustion; Substances which in Contact with Water Emit Flammable Gases
Matches or BBQ lighters (flamm. Solids), calcium carbide (emits flamm. Gas in contact with water)
• Class 5 Oxidizing Substances and Organic Peroxides
Repair kits or glues
• Class 6 Toxic and Infectious Substances
Medical drugs, chemotherapy tablets or household goods etc.
• Class 7 Radioactive Material
Smoke detectors or luminous paint etc.
• Class 8 Corrosives
Acids or wet cell batteries etc.
• Class 9 Miscellaneous
Dangerous Substances and Articles, Including Environmentally Hazardous Substances like magnets, engines,
chainsaws or batteries etc.

MARKING AND LABELLING

Labels are used to give a visual indication of the hazards presented by the article or substance contained in the
package, precautions to be applied when handling, and other as appropriate.

5
Labels and markings of certain type indicate what hazard will be present should the package become damaged, and
therefore, determine your course of action in such case.

It’s the shipper's responsibility to ensure markings and labels are new, in the correct location, and of durable
quality, there are no irrelevant marks or labels on the package and all the specific labels and marking are
identifiable and appropriate.

Operators are not allowed to apply labels prior to acceptance, however, must replace any labels that have become
lost, detached, or illegible after accepting the shipment to carry, for example during the flight.

Different types of labels are used:

HAZARD LABELS

Hazard labels give information regarding the specific dangerous characteristic of the item. They have a diamond
shape and vary in colour, depending on the class and division.

6
Handling labels provide additional information to be considered when handling specific dangerous goods

UNDECLARED DANGEROUS GOODS

Stay alert for undeclared Dangerous Goods. You may, for example, see suspicious stains on a bag, box, or
surrounding area. Spot items packed in unusual way, which may suggest presence of Dangerous Goods substances.
Smell chemical, or irritating odour, or even hear passenger make remarks on articles or substances, which you know
are Dangerous Goods.

Cards and posters are placed in the airport terminal to ensure all passengers and crew know what items are
considered dangerous, and are not allowed on board the aircraft, nonetheless there are different reasons why a
passenger might bring on board a forbidden Dangerous goods.

7
Sometimes passengers are simply not aware that a specific item or substance is considered Dangerous Goods, or
they might know but they still want to carry it as they are not aware of the potential consequences.

Also some items of common household may contain Dangerous Goods and can be difficult to spot if for some reason
brought on board the aircraft such as tool kits, car parts, pharmaceuticals and chemical samples, camping equipment
etc.

STORAGE AND LOADING

PROCEDURES
The operator is responsible to inspect any Dangerous Good package upon loading and unloading from the aircraft in
order to detect any damage or leakage that could result in potential hazard to the aircraft and its occupants.

Dangerous Goods packages must be secured at all times to protect them from damage and they must be stored or
loaded in such way that the marking and labelling will not be obscured.

Packages containing DG that might react with each other will

never be stored next to each other or in a position which would
allow for an interference.

IATA DGR details requirements for segregation of packages. These

apply based on the hazard labels on both shipments, regardless of
the hazards being primary or subsidiary.

8
 DOCUMENTATION
To assist in carrying out their responsibilities, with respect to the acceptance of dangerous goods onboard, operators
must use a checklist. The checklist must include all reasonable steps, to establish that the package is correctly
marked and labelled, in accordance with the regulations, and the documentation complies with the requirements for
dangerous goods.

There are three main documents accompanying the transportation of DG:

1) SHIPPER’S DECLARATION

The shipper's declaration is an IATA form that always

accompanies all dangerous goods and is completed by the
person who prepared the item for shipping.

This model is signed by the shipper and it describes the

UN number, proper shipping name, class or division,
packing group, quantity, type of packaging, packing
instruction and much more required information for the
specific dangerous goods in that consignment.

The shipper signs the form declaring the goods are safe to
be shipped by air in accordance to the regulations.

9
2) NOTOC (Notification to the captain)

The commander, must also be provided with written information regarding Dangerous goods, as specified in the
Technical Instructions. This document is called, NOTIFICATION TO THE CAPTAIN, or, NOTOC

It includes all relevant information regarding the item we are carrying, from the UN number and the proper shipping
name, to the Packing group or net quantity.

The NOTOC must be signed by the commander, once he is satisfied that it has been completed accurately.
And it must also be readily available to him during flight.
This is in case of any suspected problem with the shipment of dangerous goods, in which case, the Flight Crew will be
able to read the E.R.G. Drill Code from the last column on the document

10
3) CONSIGNMENT NOTE

Aircraft spare parts, or

equipment, that are not
dangerous, will not require
special documentation
other than the
Consignment note.
However, when carrying
any items which are
classified as dangerous
goods, the shipment must
be prepared with the
consignment note and the
other documentation.

PROVISIONS FOR PASSENGERS AND

CREW
Some items listed in the regulations may be carried onboard the aircraft by passengers and crew if they fulfil the
listed restrictions and limitations. Table 2.3.A of the DGR: “Provisions for Dangerous Goods Carried by Passengers
or Crew”, summarizes the information for items of dangerous goods that may be carried by passengers in checked
and/or carry-on baggage.

11
The YES/NO columns, will indicate where is the item allowed to be carried (checked-in luggage or in the cabin),
whether the approval of the operator is required and if the pilot In command must be informed of its location.

The table will also give details of the provision in place, often describing conditions which must be met, for the
article to be allowed for carriage.

Cabin Crew, are required to observe own and passengers compliance with these provisions and bring any attempted,
or actual deviation, to the Captain’s attention.

If an item is not allowed to be carried in the cabin, but it is allowed in the hold, a solution of placing passenger
baggage in the hold will be considered.

You can find the full Table in chapter 8.0 of the SEP manual.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
The biggest problems with dangerous goods are the items or substances that passengers bring on board the aircraft
without the prior approval of the airline. The general public is not aware of the regulations regarding their carriage
and use, even though they are printed on passenger’s reference sheet. Possible signs of their presence could be
determined by:

• A bad smell.
• Abnormal noise, e.g. escaping gas.
• Could be present in certain types of passenger carry- on bags e.g. backpacks may have camping gas
equipment.
• Sales representatives may have reinforced sample cases containing vaccines or industrial chemical samples.
• Extremely hot spots on the cabin floor may indicate a problem with dangerous goods in the cargo hold.
• Liquid dripping from an overhead bin.

These are examples and potential signs are not limited to this list.

DANGEROUS GOODS SPILLAGE DRILL – MEMORY ITEMS

In case of a detected or potential spillage in the cabin it is cabin crew responsibility to promptly implement
the following drill:

12
These are just the “memory items” of the drill, please see the SEP manual chapter 8.2.2 for full procedure, drill and
specifics.
In case of powder form, specific drill must be followed, please see the SEP manual for full details.

If the dangerous good is identified, crew should seek for assistance in the Ryanair Emergency Response Guidance or
RERG.
Electronic Flight Bag and VPOS give easy access to Emergency Response Guidance.
Remember that Emergency Response Guidance should be used in conjunction with emergency drills of your SEP
Manual.

Once you find the drill code, which is composed by a number followed by a letter, you can move to Table 4, Aircraft
Emergency Response Drill.
Each drill number corresponds to a line of information concerning the risk posed by that substance, and guidance ,on
the preferable action that should be taken.

Table provides specific information for the item you are dealing with, regarding fire fighting, spillage, leakage
procedures, in herent hazard and many other.

The drill letter is shown separately on the drill chart

13
The Drill letter(s) indicates other possible hazards of the substance. In some cases, the guidance given by the drill
number, may be further refined by the information given by the drill letter(s).

INCIDENT AND ACCIDENT

REPORTING
All Operators are required to report dangerous goods related incidents and accidents to their relevant Civil Aviation
Authority within 72 hours of the event, unless exceptional circumstances prevent this.

Your responsibility is to report any incident or accident via Cabin Craw report. It has to be filled as soon as possible
before the end of your duty on Coruson (available on Ecrew or Vpos)

DEFINITIONS:
DANGEROUS Articles or substances which are capable of posing hazard to health, safety, property or
GOOD environment and which are shown in the list of dangerous goods in the technical instructions
or which are classified according to those instructions.

TECHNICAL The ICAO Technical Instructions amplify the basic provisions of ICAO Annex 18 and contain all
INSTRUCTIONS the detailed instructions necessary for the safe international transport of dangerous goods by
air.

IATA DGR IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations- easy to use manual published by IATA based on Technical
Instructions from ICAO.

SHIPPER Person responsible for packing and shipping dangerous goods.

14
UN NUMBER Four-digit number assigned by the United Nations to identify an article or substance or a
particular group of articles or substances.
Example: UN1234

PROPER Every dangerous good is given a proper shipping name, which are listed in alphabetical order
SHIPPING in the IATA DGR (blue pages, section 4.2). This is the name or description that best matches
NAME the article.
Example: 1,1-Difluoroethylene

CLASS Different dangerous goods carry different hazards, therefore dangerous goods are divided
into 9 different classes. In certain cases, these classes are further sub-divided into divisions to
identify particular hazard within that class.
Example: Class 3 – Flammable Liquids

SUBSIDIARY Dangerous goods articles may be associated with more than one hazard. Secondary hazard is
HAZARD then shown in brackets after the main one. When shipping dangerous goods, hazard labels
should reflect main and subsidiary hazard.
Example: 3 (8) – Flammable liquid, subsidiary hazard – Corrosive

PACKING Each dangerous good is given a packing group which refers to the degree of hazard involved in
GROUP transporting it by air.

PG I – High danger
PG II – Medium danger
PG III – Low danger

UN UN specification packaging is required for most air shipments of dangerous goods. Packaging
SPECIFICATION that must pass several tests such shocks, loadings, and atmospheric pressure. Packages that
PACKAGING have successfully passed these tests will bear UN markings to certify that they have passed
the required tests.
Example:

LIMITED Certain dangerous goods can be transported in non-specific, good quality packages. Quantity
QUANTITY of the article is then reduced. Packing instructions for Limited Quantities have prefix “Y”.
Example: Y123

EXEMPTED Certain dangerous goods, when shipped in very small quantities, and when packaged in user-
QUANTITY tested packaging configurations, are subject to less stringent regulations. In certain cases, the
package may be exempted from most marking, packaging and labelling requirements of the
hazard class.
Example of the Label for Exempted Quantity

HAZARD Packages containing dangerous goods are normally identified with hazard labels, intended to
LABELS alert of the hazard inherent to the contents. Hazard labels are in the shape of a diamond and
have minimum dimensions of 100x100mm.
Example:

HANDELING Labels providing handling information.

LABELS
15
 Example:

NOTOC Notification to Captain. Whenever dangerous goods are being transported by air, the captain
must be notified about that load, therefore he receives NOTOC form. NOTOC is a document
providing relevant information about each dangerous good that has been loaded on to an
aircraft. Contains UN number, proper shipping name, class/division, weight and ERG drill code.

SHIPPER'S This model is signed by the shipper and it describes the UN number, proper shipping name,
DECLARATION class or division, packing group, quantity, type of packaging, packing instruction and much
FORM more required information for the specific dangerous goods in that consignment.
ERG CODE Emergency response drill code referring to Emergency Response Guidance.
This code is a sequence of a digit 1 to 12, and one or two letters.
Example:

RERG Ryanair Emergency Response Guide. Contains general information on the factors that may
need to be considered when dealing with any dangerous goods incident and provides specific
emergency response drill codes.
Available for crew in the EFB and Vpos.
