SAFETY BRIEFINGS

Regulatory Requirements

Before an aircraft takes off and during flight, airlines are required by law to provide passenger safety briefings. An audio-visual, or oral briefing with demonstration, is given so that it can be easily seen and heard by each passenger.

Standard Safety Briefings

Safety briefings are conducted at strategic periods of the flight to increase passengers' awareness of safety features of the aircraft and available emergency equipment. Safety briefings shall be given during the following phases of flight:

Before take off

	When, where, why and how carry-on baggage is required to be stowed;
	The fastening, adjusting and unfastening of seatbelts;
	When seatbacks and chair-tables must be secured in the upright position;
	The location of emergency exits (passengers seated beside the exit must be told how to operate the exit);
	The purpose of emergency lights on the floor/side of seats (to be used at nights and if the cabin is full of smoke);
	The purpose and advisability of reading the safety briefing card located in each passenger seat pocket;
	The regulatory requirement to obey crew instructions regarding seatbelts and no smoking or "fasten seatbelt" and "no smoking" signs, as well as the location of these.
