GENERAL PRECAUTIONS WHILE WORKING ON AIRCRAFT

BELOW ARE LISTED SOME GENERAL PRECAUTIONS YOU MUST OBEY WHEN WORKING IN AND AROUND AIRCRAFT:-

(*) Before operating any system, be aware of the implications, the operating of one system could influence another.

(*) Before moving flight controls ensure the area around the control surface is clear of ground equipment and personnel.

(*) When items are being hoisted by crane, do not walk under suspended loads, and don't leave loads unattended.

(*) Take care with oxygen equipment, ensure no oil or grease comes in contact with pipe line threads. You should wear clean overalls and have grease free hands when replenishing oxygen systems.

(*) Any bounding wire disturbed during maintenance must be replaced to avoid the build up of static electricity. A bonding test must then be carried out.

(*) Grommets and seals particularly in fire zones must be in a serviceable conditions.

(*) Smoke only in designated areas set a aside for that purpose.

(*) Observe and obey "NO SMOKING" signs on maintenance area.

(*) Do not carry non-safety matches and do not wear steel tips on shoes as they can create sparks.

(*) When operating petrol powered ground equipment have a form fire extinguisher handy.

(*) Flammable liquids like paints and dope should be kept in an approved store outside the hanger or workshop.

(*) If using heat torches in a hanger such as blow lamps,the flame should be directed towards fire bricks when not in immediate use.

(*) You should find out where fire extinguishers and fire buckets are located in your place of work.


(*) When refueling or defueling an aircraft no electrical system should be switched on or off. Ensure the aircraft is bounded before starting work.

(*) When fuel tanks have been completely emptied, the fire risk is still present due to the fumes, always use flameproof torches when entering tanks.

Quote:Sir Brian Appleton after Piper Alpha:“Safety is not an intellectual exercise to keep us in work. It is a matter of life and death. It is the sum of our contributions to safety management that determines whether the people we work with live or die”.
