A

A safety seat shall not be located in a row of seats which is either adjacent to an emergency exit or is immediately forward or aft of such a row.
No more than one safety seat shall be permitted in any one row. It shall be located on a window seat. If more than one child is traveling as part of a group, each such child may be placed in a safety seat in the same row provided that one safety seat is located on a window seat. In such a case the only persons seated so that there is a safety seat between themselves and the nearest aisle shall be persons traveling as part of that group.
At least one seat adjacent to a safety seat shall be occupied by a self-reliant person of not less than 14 years of age who is responsible for the occupant of the safety seat („a responsible person‟) except that when the safety seat is secured to an aisle seat the responsible person may be seated in the aisle seat immediately across the aisle from the safety seat. In other word, one safety seat is allowed per responsible person.

A

Passengers with disabilities should be seated close to emergency exits, but not the emergency exit rows. An emergency exit row includes seats in which the occupants can access the nearest emergency exit without entering an aisle.
For over wing exit seat allocation, it is important to note that seats which form the access route from the cabin aisle to the over wing exit must not be allocated to these passengers.
Able bodied passengers will be asked to sit with the disabled and to be responsible for their evacuation. They should be well aware of the type of disability, the best way to help, the location of the nearest usable exit and they will be leaving under the order of Cabin Crew. The totally immobile cases will each be allocated two able bodied passengers, if available.

If the passenger does not comply with a Cabin Crew‟s instruction to stop, Cabin Crew shall apply the procedure for Handling Disruptive/Unruly Passengers (Threat Level 1 – Failure to comply with instructions given by crew members as listed in 7.1.16 p.3) and escalate their actions as appropriate.

 After the visible flames have been extinguished, squeeze Firebane from the plastic bottle or another non-flammable liquid (such as water or juice) over the device to cool it down and prevent additional batteries from overheating. Repeat the above steps as required and monitor for any re-ignition.
The PBE and gloves must be worn whenever moving any PED/Lithium Battery. The following procedures are to be observed.
- The device can be moved, with caution, if there is no evidence of smoke or heat, after approximately 15 minutes.
- Obtain the FireSock Kit and move it as close to the device as possible and transfer the device into the FireSock Bag using the Heat Resistant Gloves.
- If the device is too big to fit in the FireSock Bag, select another appropriate container and use Firebane or a non-flammable liquid and completely immerse the device in it.
- The FireSock Bag or other appropriate container should be stowed in an area such as the lavatory floor until after landing. The lavatory must be blocked for use.
- Monitor the device and the surrounding area at 15 minute intervals.
