Among the best pieces of advice I’ve heard in the past is to remember to use your eyes, ears and mind. If you’re entering or already working in the Aerospace or High-Tech Manufacturing field, you have proven you’re intelligent, inquisitive and willing to learn. Key to your success and enjoyment of this profession is YOUR commitment and discipline in learning essential procedures, replacing bad habits with good ones and challenging yourself every day.
Foreign Object Damage (FOD) is a problem that should be on everyone’s radar, whether on the runway or the machine shop floor. To prioritize FOD prevention and ensure your employees are taking all necessary precautions, identify areas particularly susceptible to FOD incidents and enhance corresponding processes.
Establishing a FOD prevention culture within your Airline
Managers often assume that by simply establishing a new “corporate safety culture” that they will impel workers to a greater safety focus with an overall reduction in FOD event generation.
Preventing FOD Incidents At Your Airport
Although everyone working airside has the responsibility to eliminate FOD, each area within an airport operations environment has its own unique characteristics. New FOD Prevention Program managers must first identify all the hazardous areas and become familiar with the activities of the personnel working in those areas. Only then can they begin to develop tactics to eliminate aviation FOD threats in each sector.

So taking into consideration the exacting FOD prevention controls put in place by military organizations over both their personnel and their work procedures, it is sometimes difficult to understand how their aircraft continue to suffer from damage caused by FOD.
How To Increase Worker Safety and Product Quality
Manufacturing products for aerospace differs from other assembly operations by the strict requirements of product integrity and the processes used to assure safety and reliability.
