Good: Some squadrons have a strong safety culture, and they show it. Others do so in less subtle ways, but, whatever the method, the point is to make all hands more aware, to decrease preventable mishaps, and to improve the commands safety posture. We must do even better to reach the 50-percent, mishap-reduction goal.
Bad: These meter leads have an obvious problem. If you dont see it, your probes probably are dangerous, too. Someone has attached safety wire to read plugs. A problem can occur when the juice still is on and your fingers touch the safety wire. Thats one way to light up your life and possibly to extinguish it at the same time. Use thinner leads for cannon plugs (NSN 6625-01-172-7860). Read the Crossfeed story in this issue called, Youre not supposed to be part of a circuit!
Ugly: An FA-18 caught the wire normally but left a bolt and nut behind in the LA. Its from the shoe at the end of the shank. The corrosion was obvious and bad. Maintainers caught this problem after a safe recovery. How many more bolts in similar condition are out there? |
