Good Evening all,

I am keen to share knowledge and experiences with other Safety professionals within Aviation and Aerospace aircraft maintenance. I find it is quite a unique and niche industry and think it would be good to share ideas, knowledge and experiences to try and improve safety "on the shop floor “so to speak. I would be particularly interested in speaking about Fuel tank safety, refueling and defueling of aircraft, working at height on top of aircraft, general Safety culture within maintenance teams and Human factors.

I find it’s a very fast paced industry, with very high pressures placed on aircraft maintenance teams which can often lead to corners being cut and engineers placing themselves at risk to "get the job done". This often boils down to poor safety culture and poor leadership/management.

From the couple of people I have managed to speak with in the industry, it appears we share the same issues. I would be interested to hear from others on their experiences.

Many thanks in advance

Matt

Civil aviation maintenance comes under the remit of the Civil Aviation Authority, I believe there is a Memorandum of Understanding between the HSE and the CAA EASA Pt 66 licence.

While there will/is useful HSE guidance that can assist aircraft maintenance engineers - CAA requirments take priority in terms of direct work on aircraft/air wothiness requirements etc
