Tool Control Program Structure
The toolkit is within its final phase and has been developed primarily in a bullet point format to allow helicopter operators to use it as a checklist
It is important to note that the toolkit was written as a “what” to do and not a prescriptive “how” to do
The operator can decide how the maintenance checklist guidelines can be implemented in it's own organization.
Add to a basic SMS program.
Can be implemented for any type operation, from the largest to the smallest.
Second set of eyes process
