EASA’s Management Services Committee has focused on promoting safety awareness to members over the past 12 months. As I write this,
I have a new appreciation for the importance on taking the first step in creating a “culture of safety” and then continuing with ongoing efforts for constant improvement.

Yesterday, our field service manager reported a safety incident to me that occurred while performing on-site work for a large international customer. The technician had accidentally caused a direct short while connecting a test lead to a small control power transformer. The resulting explosion brought everyone to the scene and a thorough investigation was conducted. Fortunately, no one was injured. However, the investigator indicated that our company would no longer be allowed on their property if any safety violation was found.
