• An independent inspection is also an excellent last resort Safety net if done right.
• Do NOT, and I repeat Do Not, depend solely on a visual inspection as we often do as a loose fitting looks exactly like a tightened one and as we learned in the last issue under complacency, it will look tight as that is what we expect to see. Put a wrench to it or at least your hands.
• A detailed check list can also work wonders to jog the memory provided we read it, then sign each item one at a time. In the not so good ole days, it was common practice to just put your initials in the center of the check area and an up and down arrow from there to indicate you had completed everything on the sheet. THAT practice was putting a big hole in a Safety net and is illegal today. (At least in most parts of the world)
• A personal Safety net which goes a long way to combating distraction is: whenever I’m distracted I will always restart the task by going back three steps. By adhering to this philosophy and the others you can prevent yourself from ever becoming a victim of Distraction.
In the next issue I will cover the number one
contributing factor to human error. It seldom works alone but is all too often one of the links in the chain of events leading to the error.
Gordon Dupont worked as a special programs coordinator for Transport Canada from March 1993 to August 1999. He was responsible for coordinating with the aviation industry in the development of programs that would serve to reduce maintenance
error. He assisted in the development of Human Performance in Maintenance (HPIM) Parts 1 and 2. The “Dirty Dozen” maintenance Safety posters were an outcome of HPIM Part 1. Prior to working for Transport, Dupont worked for seven years as a technical investigator for the Canadian Aviation Safety Board (later to become the Canadian Transportation Safety Board). He saw firsthand the tragic results of maintenance and human error.
