A and P / Airframe and Power plant

FAA DefinitionsAircraft means a device that is used or intended to be used for flight in the air.Airframe means the fuselage, booms, nacelles, cowlings, fairings, airfoil surfaces (including rotors but excluding propellers and rotating airfoils of engines), and landing gear of an aircraft and their accessories and controls.Airplane means an engine-driven fixed-wing aircraft heavier than air, that is supported in flight by the dynamic reaction of the air against its wings.

FAA Definitions

Appliance means any instrument, mechanism, equipment, part, apparatus, appurtenance, or accessory, including communications equipment, that is used or intended to be used in operating or controlling an aircraft in flight, is installed in or attached to the aircraft, and is not part of an airframe, engine, or propeller.

OSHA’s Mission

• The mission of OSHA is to save lives, prevent injuries and protect the health of America’s workers.

• Some of the things OSHA does to carry out its mission are: – developing job safety and health standards and enforcing them.– maintaining a reporting and recordkeeping system to keep track

of job-related injuries and illnesses.– providing training programs.

33

• OSHA’s Recordkeeping rule requires most employers with more than 10 workers to keep a log of injuries and illnesses.

34

Your Right to…

Workers have the right to review the current log, as well as the logs stored for the past 5 years.

Workers also have the right to view the annually posted summary of the injuries and illnesses (OSHA 300A).

Employers are Required to:Employers are Required to:

35

REPORTING AND RECORDING CHECKLIST

Employers must: Report each worker death Report each incident that hospitalizes 3 or

more workers Maintain injury & illness records Inform workers how to report an injury or

illness to the employer Make records available to workers Allow OSHA access to records Post annual summary of injuries &

illnesses

• Employers must have a written, complete hazard communication program that includes information on:
