Pilot assessment of occupational safety and health of workers in an aircraft maintenance facility
Sarah Gharib, Bernard Martin, and Richard L. Neitzel. Safety Science September 2021.
Aircraft maintenance workers work in a dynamic and complex environment and may face a variety of occupational hazards. This pilot study was conducted with an international airline in the Middle East to assess occupational safety and health issues at their maintenance base. In this study, volunteer workers in two hangars at an aircraft maintenance base completed a baseline questionnaire on several occupational safety and health factors (e.g., behaviors, injuries, near misses, and safety climate). They also completed two full-shift noise measurements and filled out a diary to report activities, injuries, and near misses on both measurement days. Repeated anonymous observations of workers were made to assess unsafe conditions and behaviors, and area temperature measurements were taken to evaluate potential heat stress.
