These recommendations are to aid the international air transport industry by identifying a standard, minimum amount of safety instructions and procedures that should be provided in the PSIS. Aircraft operators are encouraged to customize the PSIS to their own operations. This document also provides recommendations for:

a

Passenger safety information briefings and associated materials,

b

Demonstration emergency equipment,

c

Ensuring passenger suitability for those seated in exit seats,

d

The standardization of safety briefings for passengers seated at exits who may be responsible for opening exits on transport aircraft during an emergency, and

e

A standardized protective brace position to reduce the severity of injury during severe turbulence, rapid deceleration, or a sudden impact.

In addition, these recommendations pertain to briefings on aircraft on which the cabin crew would conduct the exit seat briefing, and to briefings on aircraft without cabin crew, on which pilots would conduct the briefing.
