being fully aware of your level of
fatigue and alertness while using
these tools.
• Tie back hair and avoid loose
jewelry and clothing that may get
caught in moving parts.
• Be aware of sharp leading edges
like w ing tips, antennas, and
probes that stick out from the air-
craft.
• Wear adequate hearing protection.
Hearing is one of those things we
cannot get back once we lose it!
• Protect yourself from dust from
grinding and sanding operations.
• Tail-heav y aircraft make it dif-
ficult to see on the ground when
maneuvering in the hangar or
maintenance area. Watch and
communicate with the aircraft
operator to avoid crush accidents
or getting run over by a tire, or col-
liding with a wing or tail.
Aircraft chemicals such as fuels,
lubricants, coating strippers, paints,
and solvents may be concentrated and
contain hazardous materials. Proper
handling, storage, and disposal is
critical for your safety as well as those
around you. MSDS, Material Safety
Data Sheets, should be referenced with
respect to handling and disposing of
these materials.
Inspection and repair of aircraft
structures, coatings, and systems both
in hangars and on the ramp require
not only good training but safe work
habits that do not allow for short-cuts,
sloppy house-keeping, and compla-
cent attitudes. For the most part, a
single short cut or deviation may not
bring a bad effect, but the more you do
it, it becomes a habitual part of your
work practices. In human factors stud -
ies they refer to this as "norms." Less
than desirable norms will in fact lead
to disastrous consequences over time.
So before considering substituting a
tool for the specified tool, moving the
aircraft without the proper personnel
to wing-walk, or "reaching your hand
in there" for just a second, consider
the five-second rule. It may prove to
be the most important five seconds of
your life.
