Dangerous Goods Training Update: Special focus on Lithium Batteries
In response to the latest EASA Safety Information Bulletin (SIB) 2025-03, the Dangerous Goods eLearning course has been updated to reflect current safety concerns surrounding lithium batteries in passenger baggage.
Lithium batteries pose hazards such as fire, explosion, and thermal runaway, particularly when carried in PEDs, e-scooters, hoverboards, e-cigarettes, and power banks. Poor-quality or damaged batteries may ignite, overwhelming cargo suppression systems, while devices trapped in seats can short-circuit.
To mitigate these threats, crew awareness, consistent enforcement, and clear passenger communication are essential.
By incorporating the latest regulatory guidance, the updated training equips aviation professionals with up-to-date knowledge and best practices to manage battery-related risks and strengthen onboard safety.
