The carriage of Dangerous Goods on Qantas aircraft is primarily governed by CASA in virtue of:• the Australian Civil Aviation Act Section 23, and• the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Regulations (CASRs).ICAO Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport by Air of Dangerous Goods are legally bindingregulations. The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations are the commercial aviation industry guidelinesand may be more restrictive than the ICAO Regulations. Qantas is compliant with both the IATA andICAO Regulations as well as being compliant with its own more restrictive variations.

Qantas has three current Operator Variations to the current IATA dangerous Goods Regulations.These are listed in the table below.

Number Details of Qantas Dangerous Goods VariationsQF-01 Not used.QF-02 Division 4.1, Flammable Solids. Passengers and crew are not permitted to bring book matches

onto an aircraft for personal use. Book matches are only allowed as correctly packed anddeclared Dangerous Goods consignments (see 2.3.5.6*)

QF-03 Operator approval is required for the carriage of all new and used internal combustion engines(see 2.35.15*).

QF-04 Oxygen or air, gaseous cylinders required for medical use are only accepted for transport in or ascarry–on baggage (see 2.3.4.1*).

* References refer to those provided in the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations.

The regulations do not apply to dangerous goods that are:1. To provide medical aid to a patient during a flight.2. To provide veterinary aid or a humane killer for an animal during flight.3. For dropping in connection with agricultural, horticultural, forestry or pollution control activities.4. To provide aid in connection with search and rescue operations during flight.5. Vehicles, carried in specially designed aircraft for the transport or ferrying of such vehicles.6. Required for the propulsion of the means of transport.The regulations are designed to eliminate hazard by:• Limiting the net quantity of Dangerous Goods per package.• Adherence to very strict packaging criteria.• Provisions of special markings and labelling on the packages.• Availability of specific documents.


01 February 2014 7.2 P 3

• Stowage in certain aircraft locations for certain commodities.• Prohibition of carriage of certain shipments on passenger aircraft.Civil Aviation Safety Regulations stipulate that Dangerous Goods can be carried on an aircraft ifpersons consign Dangerous Goods in accordance with these regulations.

7.2.3 DOCUMENTATION

IATA members have adopted a recommended practice for notifying the Captain of any DangerousGoods or other special loads being carried on the aircraft. The document used for this is known asthe Notification to Captain (NOTOC). This can be either electronically or manually generated. AllDangerous Goods on an aircraft, excepting those permitted to be carried by passengers and crew,must appear on the NOTOC.

Stowage of Dangerous Goods in Qantas passenger aircraft cargo compartments should be inaccordance with the requirements of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations and the Qantas GroupDangerous Goods Manual.Note: No consignments of Dangerous Goods are to be loaded in the passenger cabin.

7.2.4 QANTAS GROUP DANGEROUS GOODS MANUAL

The Qantas Group Dangerous Goods Manual has been adopted by all operators within the QantasGroup to ensure consistency and compliance. This manual is available at all Qantas ports and canbe accessed via Load Control, Freight, Ramp or Customer Service Staff. It comprehensively detailsthe Qantas Group Policies and procedures and contains specific operator variations.

7.2.5 HIDDEN DANGEROUS GOODS

No Dangerous Goods (unless excepted by the regulations) are to be carried in the passenger cabinof an aircraft. Common items that passengers and crew may inadvertently carry on an aircraft arelisted below. These items are strictly prohibited for carriage:

• Explosives eg fireworks, power rivets, and signal flares.• Firearms and ammunition.• Compressed gases eg lighter refills, full aqualung cylinders, butane gas, hydrocarbon hair curler

refills.• Flammable liquids and solids eg solvents, paints, fuels and book matches.• Oxidisers and organic peroxides eg bleaches, chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, fiberglass repair kits.• Poisons and infectious substances eg insecticides, arsenic, cyanides, bacterial or viral cultures or

samples.• Corrosives eg acids, alkalis, wet cell batteries, caustic soda, items containing mercury.• Self heating meals eg Meals Ready to Eat (MREs), containing flameless ration heaters.


01 February 2014 7.2 P 4

Discovery of these items in the passenger cabin during flight must be treated as a Dangerous Goodsincident and must be dealt with in accordance with this manual.

7.2.6 USE OF ARTICLES DURING FLIGHT

The following Dangerous Goods - although acceptable for carriage in the passenger cabin – must notbe used in flight under any circumstances.• Cigarette lighters or matches - these must remain with the passenger in their pocket at all times

and should not be placed in carry on baggage or coat pockets in the overhead bins or coat locker.• Hair curlers containing hydrocarbon gas.• Nail polish remover or other toiletry articles which may produce strong vapours or noxious fumes.Passengers found using these items during flight must be asked to stop using them immediately.Further breaches must lead to confiscation of the offending articles. Confiscated articles must bestowed in accordance with the procedures for incident inflight. Under NO circumstances are anyDangerous Goods to be taken to the Flight Deck.Note: Dangerous Goods which are identified by TABLE 2.3.A in the IATA Dangerous Goods

Regulations as acceptable for carriage by passengers and crew (eg., toiletry articles,alcoholic beverages, etc.) are permitted to be carried on the flight deck provided they aresuitably restrained to prevent movement during flight.

7.5.1 FIRE

Step Procedures

1.

Implement Basic Fire Drill

Caution should be taken when using water as this may spread any flammable liquids fires, and/or increasethe rate of fuming of some Dangerous Goods. Water should not be used where there is a risk of contactinglive electrical components.

2.

Identify the items if possible - passenger may be able to assist.

Identification will greatly assist Flight Crew in determining the appropriate action based on the ICAOEmergency Response Drills.

If the incident involves a Portable Electronic Device/Lithium Battery refer to 7.4.5.2 PERSONALELECTRONIC DEVICES/LITHIUM BATTERY INCIDENTS.

• Standard emergency procedures must be used to deal with any fire. Although BCF has been shown notto be effective against lithium metal fires, it will be effective in fighting the subsequent fire of surroundingmaterials.

3.

Move passengers away from area and distribute wet towels or cloths.

The re-seating of passengers away from the affected area will assist crew in the clean up and preventpassengers becoming affected by possible fumes.

Note: As outlined in Chapter 17 of the CCOM- Reseating Passengers, whenever passengers are notoccupying their allocated seats for takeoff or landing the Captain shall be notified.

4.Regularly inspect the area.

Continue to add water or non - flammable liquid to a non - electrical item, or PED with external powerremoved, if still producing heat.

5.

Assist in the completion of a Cabin Crew Safety and Injury Report (CCSIR) and Cabin/IFE Log.

Identify to ground personnel the dangerous goods item and location.

Contribute to completion of an Air Safety Incident Report.

Only one Air Safety Incident Report should be completed for the incident and this should be coordinated bythe Captain in consultation with Cabin Crew.

In all cases where unlawful dangerous goods are detected onboard an aircraft, the Captain is to request theAirport Management to meet the aircraft in order to follow up the matter. Details of the event are also to beincluded in the aircraft Technical Log for action to be taken to have the aircraft inspected.

Crew must ensure that the passenger involved is identified and contact details (including address) obtainedfor later follow up investigation and preventative action. Where possible, every effort should be made to haveCASA or local Civil Aviation Authority quarantine the suspect item upon arrival.

27 April 2012 7.6 P 1

7.6.1 INFECTIOUS SUBSTANCES DETECTED INFLIGHT

The same procedure for Dangerous Goods should be used for handling spills of blood or body fluidsin the cabin. However, the following consideration should be given for clean-up procedures.WARNING Before cleaning up body fluids like vomit and blood you must use the apron, latex

gloves and goggles found in the Hygiene Kit.

WARNING When performing ‘mouth to mouth’ or ‘mouth to nose’ resuscitation, a laerdal maskshould be used.

7.6.2 INFECTIOUS SUBSTANCE PROCEDURES - FLIGHT CREW

The same procedure/checklist as for Dangerous Goods should be used for handling InfectiousSubstance Incidents in flight. Refer to the Flight Crew Dangerous Goods Incident Checklist.

7.6.3 INFECTIOUS SUBSTANCE PROCEDURES - CABIN CREW

Step Procedures

1. Place all soiled articles, such as seat covers, in the yellow plastic bag marked CONTAMINATED waste oran orange bag and mark with INFECTIOUS waste label.

2. Use the disposable cloth to wipe up fluids.

3. Wash the surface with soap and water for approximately 3-5 minutes or flush affected skin area withwater.

4. Wipe the surface with disinfectant (mix 1 sachet of Diversol to 1 litre of water) or Mediswabs as carried.

5. Place all of the contaminated materials used in the clean-up procedure (towels, gloves, apron, gogglesetc.) into the CONTAMINATED waste bags.

6. Tie the top of the bag.7. Place the bag into the waste bin (emptied of refuse) in the AFT lavatory, lock and label the lavatory.8. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water.9. Ensure the appropriate entry is made in the Cabin/IFE Log.

WARNING Syringes or other sharp objects that may be infectious, can be placed inside theSharp’s container, or a puncture resistant container that has a secure seal. Thecontainer should be disposed of in the contaminated waste bag.

7.6.4 USE AND DISPOSAL OF DIVERSOL FOR HANDLING SPILLS OF BLOOD OR BODYFLUIDS IN THE CABIN

Follow the instructions as per clean-up procedure from the Hygiene Kit, or the Infectious Substancedrill as appropriate for the extent of the spillage. Prepare Diversol by dissolving 1 sachet of Diversol(5000) in 1L of cold water using the plastic measuring jug. Pour into an empty, clear, plastic water

bottle and recap the lid before carrying to the soiled area in the cabin (this is to avoid spillage ofDiversol in the case of sudden turbulence).

As Diversol is classed as a hazardous substance and the container which it is decanted is only forimmediate use, there is no need to label the container, provided the container is cleaned immediatelyafter use (when diluting into the jug), or disposed of safely (in the case of a water bottle). Any leftoverDiversol must be emptied down a sink and the empty drink bottle disposed of immediately into agarbage receptacle. Do not leave the Diversol solution in the bottle unattended at any time during orafter the procedure.
