INTRODUCTION
Business operations everywhere are seemed to be operating efficiently. Operations management
for organisation or an industry is related with controlling the processes and the designs that are
being worked upon in the organisation (Imeri, A. and Khadraoui, D., 2018). In other words, it is
referred to as supervising and organising. The services in an organisation are said to be tackled
by the management and therefore the operations management is designed in every industry or
firm to look after the services that are related to goods and production. The aviation industry is
considered to be one of the vast sectors where there are lot of services that happen on a daily
basis. In order to look after all productions and the supervising aspects of manufacturing unit,
operations management will be designed.
LO1: DANGEROUS GOODS AND REGULATIONS
Definition
Dangerous goods are defined as the substances that cause serious threat to life and safety and
also the property of a particular aircraft during travelling (Huang, W.). In the aviation industry to
secure passengers and to deliver a good journey along the way the aviation authority causes rules
and regulations to the passengers in order to stop them from carrying dangerous goods which are
of different categories.
There are different categories of dangerous goods:
Explosive materials: Explosive materials are said to be the dangerous goods since they have
flammable properties and will explode in case of emergency (Wei, Y. and Liu, X., 2020). These
explosives can be substances from any substitute for kind of Fireworks. If any material with
regards to explosives is being identified by the aviation authority then it will come under
dangerous goods and will not be allowed.
Gases: gases are regarded as the type one dangerous goods which can cause severe impact over
explosion. Gases are of many types flammable gas, non-flammable gas and poisonous gases.
Flammable gases are likely to catch fire and will spread over in not just a minute. The non
flammable gases are not so poisonous yet they may cause severe impact over breathing
(Galierikova, A. and Sosedova, J., 2018). Poisonous gases are seemed to be very dangerous and
there are cases where they lead to death. These goods are prohibited from being carried in the
passenger aircrafts.

Flammable liquids: Flammable liquids are regarded as the substances that can easily react with
another substance and can cause fire. The examples of flammable liquids are petrol, alcohol and
perfume. Any small quantity of these particles are substances when reacted with other substances
can lead to disaster (Molero, G.D). Therefore, flammable liquids are prohibited while travelling.
Flammable solids: Flammable solids are the natural substances that can easily explode.
Examples of flammable solids are metal powders and matches. These flammable solids are
regarded to be very dangerous when they are actually wet. Example of these wet dangerous solid
flammable substances are Sodium and potassium.
Oxidizing agents: The organic oxidizing agents are like chemical hydrators that will cause
serious threat to mankind when allowed in travelling. Therefore, when these are identified by the
aviation authority the authorities will stop them and identify them as dangerous goods. Oxygen
peroxide and other materials that will cause serious explosive and can burn rapidly examples of
organic peroxides are fertilizer and pool chemicals.
Dangerous goods that are accepted in the cabin:
Some of the dangerous goods are said to be identified as little acceptable and they are permitted
along the travel with the passenger aircraft. Some of these may be useful products in daily
human life which are like toiletry articles, Lithium and lithium-ion batteries, alcoholic beverages
dry ice and fire extinguishers.
The prohibited dangerous goods are explosives, compressed gases, flammable liquids, oxidizers,
poisons, infectious substances and radioactive materials are identified as very dangerous good
and are prohibited during the travel from one place to another by the aviation authority (Flodén,
J. and Woxenius, J., 2021). There are certain regulatory recommendations and requirements that
are necessary to be imposed upon while travelling and carrying dangerous goods on the aircraft.
There are certain training that are given to the crew in order to identify dangerous goods before
ensuring our travel. In this training program the crew will be given awareness regarding
identifying the risk of carrying the dangerous goods as well as dealing with them. In case there
are a dangerous goods in the cabin then the crew will have to inform the authorities and notify
the flight attendants immediately (Tatarinov, V. and Kirsanov, A., 2019). Soon after informing
the authorities there will start the process of identifying them and collecting as well as disposing.
