For our purposes, it\u2019s a key to how to prevent FOD.<\/p><p>YOU are on the line. YOU are the eyes of the operation. YOU may notice a procedure that could be made more efficient and safer, machinery needing replacement or repair, insecure storage or disposal routines, inadequate screening of visitors\u2026 endless potential for improvement. YOUR challenge is to observe, to analyze, and to communicate with your supervisors to ensure that dangerous practices are eliminated and safer conditions are realized.<\/p><p>It has been common practice for budget-conscious outfits to \u201cmake do\u201d with shared equipment such as sweepers. When it works, that\u2019s fine. But critical areas are often left to chance, waiting for \u201cour turn.\u201d If you find that you don\u2019t have enough of the right equipment, pass the word along.

That doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s wrong or hostile to realize that all of us are human beings who make mistakes, and routinely verify that other workers are maintaining the level of performance demanded in this kind of endeavor. The saying, \u201cTrust but verify\u201d should have been invented for aviation operations.<\/p><p>Expect that your work will be observed, critiqued and verified every day. Team members support each other that way. Supervisors and colleagues are your team, and everyone will be watching everyone else to help keep the work flowing safely and efficiently. It\u2019s in your interest to embrace this philosophy, but never depend on your teammates to cover your carelessness or tolerate sloppiness.<\/p><p>Do you remember the expression: \u201cObserve \u2014 Analyze \u2014 Communicate\u201d?
