Maintenance workers must come to work
physically and mentally ready to follow
procedures, to communicate clearly,
to speak up when training is needed, to
address unclear instructions, to refuse
to be rushed into poor decision-making
or unairworthy work, and to value the
importance of final inspection.
ready to follow procedures, to communicate clearly, to speak
up when training is needed, to address unclear instructions,
to refuse to be rushed into poor decision-making or unairworthy
work, and to value the importance of final inspection.
Work on flight and engine controls, on electrical systems/
appliances, on flight surfaces, on powerplants, and on pressurization
and cabin environment is all important. When
it comes to maintenance, the expression " If everything is
import, then nothing is important, " does not apply.
I end by repeating that if you get the important human
factors interventions in place then the other important maintenance
activity will proceed safely.
