Tool FOD" is a serious hazard caused by tools left inside the aircraft after servicing. Tools can get tangled in control cables, jam moving parts, short out electrical connections or otherwise interfere with a safe flight.

Extracts from the EASA P145 regulation states that “an organisation to be approved for base maintenance shall ensure that all hand tools are permanently available, controlled and that a clear labelling and a tool register system is in place”.

With over 15 years experience, Coplan Limited offers a one-stop shop service providing safety and peace of mind for all hand tool and work shop requirements. Our solutions include:

• Visual Tool Control (V.T.C) – Enables at a glance the identification of missing tools through the use of hand tools sitting in bi-colour foam (resistant to skydrol)
  
  
• Electronic Swipe Access Tool Control (E.A.T.C) – Adopting the same principles as Visual Tool Control, yet this solution also reduces the risk of cross tool contamination as access to the tool cabinets are only permitted to a designated swipe access card holders – thus increasing the control and accountability
  
  
• Intelligent Tool Control (I.T.C) – THE HOLY GRAIL – Just like Visual and Electronic Access Tool Control, yet every tool from a pin-locked cabinet can be wirelessly computer tracked and real time logged at all times without the use of RF Tags or Bar Codes
  
  
• Mobile Asset Tracking Systems (M.A.T) – Incorporating the Visual Tool Control solution, yet these light weight 2 and 4 pallet tool bags are specifically designed for mobile technicians and engineers alike and help reduce the risk of Foreign Object Debris when working flight line
  
  
• Hard wearing floor tiles – the perfect solution to the perennial problem of any work station floor! No more flaking paint, cement dust or unsightly cracks
  
  
• Bespoke tool cabinets & work stations – now you can get the exact depth, height or length that you require and at the right price
  
  
• Tool ID tags to identify specific cavities – allows quick reference of tool part numbers
  
  
• Supply of Stahlwille tools – German in-house made aerospace tools that are DQS certified
  
  
• Laser marking of tools – allows you to mark individual tools to a specific job, work station or individuals without flaking or breaking the tool warranty
  
  
• Colour coded sleeves – can allocate tools to a work station by its colour
  

Our products & services provide a much needed gap bridging tool for the ICAO Annex 6 that requires all operators to implement a Safety Management System by 01 Jan 2009 and the latest changes and requirements for the EASA / CAA P145 licence that will improve Tool FOD safety within the MRO workplace. The benefits include:
