This set of two eBooks is about health and safety issues for the aviator, mechanic, engineer, line person, and aircraft builder. This is a critical topic that belongs with every person who physically takes part in our industry, or at least with every training manager and repair station library.
The first book, Working Healthy is a manual on health and safety techniques written by an aviation medical examiner. It teaches how to recognize and protect yourself from the many risks and long-term health issues common in an aviation facility. Learn to advise and protect your most valuable assets (yourself, your employees, and students), and in doing so reduce absenteeism, job delays, and your company's Workman's Compensation premiums. Even beyond the human cost, just one prevented minor injury will pay for this book 100 times over.
Dozens of common health risks including lifting, toxic chemicals and metals, ear and eye protection, heat and cold exposure, tool handling, to the ergonomics of a simple oil change are covered in depth but written to be clearly understandable without medical experience.
Each of these issues and many others are discussed, including their causes, recognition of danger signs, recommended methods of performing the job, methods of prevention and what to do if a situation or symptoms occur.
The second book, Working Healthy-Solvents provides additional coverage on this most common cause of illness and injury. If you use solvents to degrease parts, set up plastics, or formulate paint; then you need how to use these products safely. Don't guess about the medical consequences of these substances. Learn how to recognize them and work safely
