Dangerous Goods Cabin Awareness Trainer

Dangerous goods in the passenger cabin represent a growing safety risk, driven in large part by the proliferation of lithium-ion battery-powered devices and a passenger population that is often unaware of the restrictions that exist for good reason. The Dangerous Goods Cabin Awareness Trainer is an AI assistant designed to prepare cabin crew with the knowledge required under IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) Category 6 — the awareness level mandated for all commercial cabin crew.

This assistant covers the nine IATA hazard classes and their subdivisions in clear, accessible language, helping crew recognize what each class looks like in a passenger context and what risks it presents in the confined, pressurized environment of an aircraft cabin. It explains which dangerous goods are permitted in checked baggage only, which may be carried in carry-on baggage, and which are strictly prohibited from the aircraft entirely.

A major focus is lithium battery safety, covering the distinction between lithium metal and lithium-ion batteries, quantity and watt-hour limits for passenger devices, acceptable versus prohibited power banks and spare batteries, and the specific response procedures for a lithium battery thermal event in the cabin. The assistant also covers common passenger items that are frequently misunderstood: medical oxygen, dry ice, fuel cell devices, and undeclared hazardous materials in personal care products.

Cabin crew preparing for initial IATA DGR Category 6 certification, recurrent dangerous goods awareness training, or operator-specific dangerous goods examinations will find this assistant an essential study resource. It also helps crew build the practical identification skills needed to recognize potential dangerous goods situations before they become in-flight incidents.
