Dangerous
Goods
Here
is some precaution you need to take when you pack your bags.
Failure to observe these simple facts could endanger you,
the aircraft and all its passengers.
- Check
the items in your baggage for any ‘hazardous’ symbols displayed.
- Do
not pack or carry firearms, fireworks, flammable materials
or pressurized containers such as spray cans, scuba tanks
or propane tanks.
- There
are dozens of materials that are too hazardous to transport
on aircraft, which have been known to destroy their surroundings.
- Common
items used everyday in the home or workplace may seem harmless,
however, when transported by air, they can be very dangerous.
In flight, variations in pressure, temperature or vibration
can cause items to leak, generate toxic fumes bursting out
of their containers and setting on fire.
- You
may check with your travel agent / airline for a list of
prohibited or restricted goods.
- If
you illegally carry dangerous goods on board it could lead
to severe civil penalties, as well as possible criminal
prosecution.
