Where is the location of the CRJ 700 65 PAX universal precautions kit (UPK)?

The CRJ 700 65 PAX universal precautions kit (UPK) is located in the second-to-last overhead bin identified as A/CL (A/C Left). This specific location is designated for easy access in the event of a medical emergency. The UPK is essential for crew members to protect themselves while handling potential bloodborne pathogens, making its accessibility crucial to ensuring safety protocols can be followed efficiently.

Choosing this overhead bin as the storage location ensures that the UPK is relatively close to the front galley area, facilitating quick retrieval by flight attendants, who can often respond to passenger needs more readily from this area during the flight. It also helps ensure that the kit is not located in restricted areas (like the cockpit or under the jumpseat) where access would be limited during emergencies.

The other locations mentioned, such as the cockpit, would not be practical for a medical kit intended for passenger-related incidents, while the last overhead bin in the front may be less accessible, and placing it under the flight attendant jumpseat would interfere with normal operational space and movement. Thus, the selection of the second-to-last overhead bin A/CL balances proximity and practicality for emergency response.
