A successful FOD management program typically contains four main areas, each containing significant elements, as outlined below:

UNCLASSIFIED

1. Prevention.

Awareness (existence of the FOD program and management support).

Training and education (implementation of the FOD program).

2. Detection.

Operations (manual inspections and use of detection equipment).

3. Removal.

4. Evaluation.

Data collection and analysis.

Continuous improvement (trending, feedback, incident investigation).

FOD “Awareness” Sensitivity Level:

FOD Awareness Area Basic Attributes:

FOD Awareness Area placards are posted at conspicuous locations, at all entrances of the area, and within the area as required.

Elevated “high standard” of housekeeping.

Periodic FOD Walks may be performed as determined by the local FOD Sensitive Area / Product Manager.

All personnel who frequent, transit or work in a FOD Awareness Area must have at a minimum, FOD General Awareness Training.

FOD “Control” Sensitivity Level:

FOD Control Area Basic Attributes:

FOD Control Area placards are posted at conspicuous locations, at all entrances of the area, and within the area as required. Stanchions / Stanchion Placards with boundary tape can be used to localize a FOD Control Area, and can be within a FOD Awareness or Critical Area (Personnel, miscellaneous small parts, tools and hardware have elevated control).

Elevated “high standard” of housekeeping.

Scheduled FOD Walks “must be” performed as determined with coordination from the local FOD Program Officer.

All personnel who frequent, transit or work in a FOD Control Area must have FOD General Awareness Training.

FOD “Critical” Sensitivity Level:

FOD Critical Area Basic Attributes:

FOD Critical Area placards are posted at conspicuous locations, at all entrances of the area, and within the area as required… Stanchions / Stanchion Placards with boundary tape can be used to localize a FOD Critical Area, and can be within a FOD Awareness or Control Area. (Personnel, miscellaneous small parts, hardware & tools are strictly controlled; “Sponge Counts” are required) (Single Point Entry & Exit) Extreme “high standard” of housekeeping.

Scheduled FOD Walks “must be” performed as determined with coordination from the local FOD Program Officer.

All personnel who frequent, transit or work in a FOD Critical Areas must have FOD General Awareness Training.

4) Why does your organization need a FOD Program, and to what level of FOD Sensitivity?

* Army Regulation 385-95 dictates FOD Awareness.

* FOD can severely injure airport or air carrier personnel or damage equipment. Types of potential damage include: cutting aircraft tires; being ingested into engines; or becoming lodged in mechanisms affecting flight operations.

FOD comes from many sources, which complicates efforts to maintain safe airfield operations. FOD can be generated from personnel, airport infrastructure (pavements, lights, and signs), the environment (wildlife, snow, ice) and the equipment operating on the airfield (aircraft, airport operations vehicles, maintenance equipment, fueling trucks, other aircraft servicing equipment, and construction equipment).

FOD is often more common when airports begin construction activities.

“Basic Rule” for setting up a FOD Sensitive Area:

All physical areas must be prepared to prevent FOD.

Wind can blow dry debris, such as sand or plastic bags, from relatively non-critical areas onto the flight area. Rain water and drainage can stream mud, pebbles and other small items along the path of least resistance.

Third level

The exact nature of FOD is also varied. FOD can be composed of any material and can be of any color and size.

Typical FOD includes the following: aircraft and engine fasteners (nuts, bolts, washers, safety wire, etc.); aircraft parts (fuel caps, landing gear fragments, oil sticks, metal sheets, trapdoors, and tire fragments);

catering supplies; flight line items (nails, personnel badges, pens, pencils, luggage tags, soda cans, etc.); apron items (paper and plastic debris from catering and freight pallets, luggage parts, and debris from ramp equipment); runway and taxiway materials (concrete and asphalt chunks, rubber joint materials, and paint chips); construction debris (pieces of wood, stones, fasteners and miscellaneous metal objects); plastic and/or polyethylene materials; natural materials (plant fragments, wildlife and volcanic ash); and contaminants from winter conditions (snow, ice).

Foreign Object Incident Reporting (FOIR’s)

* Always report all incidents (Internal or External), even if you caused it!

* Report all incidents to your local FOD Control Officer and your Supervisor.

* Your local FOD Control Officer is responsible for collecting all pertinent incident information, which includes performing personal interviews.

* The FOD Control Officer will create and submit the FOIR.

* If “Cause” or “Corrective Action” is assigned to you, you must respond to the appropriate individual within 10 working days (excluding weekends, off-Fridays and holidays).

Typical Attitudes towards FOD Programs:

* This is stupid, and a waste of time and money!!!

* Why can’t people just do their jobs, and not be slobs!!!

* Isn’t this Management’s Responsibility?

* I’m not going to report anything, it’s a pain in the rear, and besides, there might be restitution against me, especially if I’m the cause!!!

* FOD Prevention is a Personal Thing!!!

* Must be practiced in our everyday routines!!!

* How important is the FOD stuff anyway?
