Description
"This course contains the use of artificial intelligence."Foreign Object Damage (FOD) remains one of the most persistent-and preventable-sources of risk in the aerospace industry. Despite signage, tool shadow boards, and annual refresher training, organizations continue to experience escapes that trace back not to a lack of rules, but to gaps in human behavior, ownership, and process control.This course provides a practical, human-factors-based approach to FOD awareness and control in aerospace environments. Rather than focusing solely on cleanup activities or visual reminders, it examines why FOD occurs, where controls most often fail, and how organizations can design systems that work under real-world conditions.FOD prevention is not optional. AS9100-based quality management systems explicitly require organizations to prevent foreign object damage, and this expectation flows directly down to suppliers and subcontractors supporting major aerospace and defense manufacturers. Whether you are a machine shop, assembly operation, MRO facility, or support function, effective FOD control is a contractual, regulatory, and operational requirement.This course addresses:High-risk areas such as work-in-process, staging, and temporary storageThe role of leadership, accountability, and ownership in FOD preventionHow formal FOD programs and committees function-and why they matterWhy near-miss reporting is essential to preventing real damageHow human factors quietly defeat otherwise "compliant" systemsDesigned for operators, supervisors, engineers, quality professionals, and auditors, this course goes beyond checklists to explain what good FOD prevention actually looks like-and why organizations that rely on awareness alone continue to be surprised.If you work in aerospace, this isn't optional knowledge. It's how you protect product, schedules, reputations, and people.
Who this course is for
Technicians and Quality Systems Personnel in the Aerospace industry (AS9100, AS9110, AS9120)
