Foreign Object Damage “FOD” – Prevention Training

In this webinar we will cover the elements of effective Foreign Object Damage, (FOD), prevention programs and the relationship between FOD prevention programs and AS9100D requirements. We will present examples of FOD prevention techniques developed by key aerospace groups including IAQG and aerospace prime contractors. We will cover key terms and definitions related to FOD prevention. We will cover application of different FOD prevention techniques as applicable to different manufacturing areas based on the graduated severity of FOD risk including:

• FOD Awareness Areas;
• FOD Prevention Areas;
• FOD Control Areas;
• FOD Critical Areas.

The different levels of FOD control for different manufacturing areas and examples of techniques for implementation of FOD prevention programs will be explored. Examples will be based on aerospace manufacturing.
We will cover requirements presented in aerospace prime contractor requirements documents such as NAS 412 and AS 9146.
