Pressure
Maintenance "Pressure" has always been a factor in the maintenance world whether it is from management, co-workers, or from your personal life. If you are familiar with the Dirty Dozen, you will recall that “Pressure” is one of the 12 major causes of maintenance human error. You have to be able to recognize and deal with those pressures.
Unchecked, pressure will eventually lead to catastrophic results. Be alert to re-think and recognize your current pressures whether it is internal or external. Seriously, consider what effect it will have on your performance as a mechanic before it results in a safety hazard to yourself or others. __________ The FAA Safety Team (FAASTeam) is committed to helping you achieve the highest level of safety by providing "tools" and resources to enhance your knowledge and proficiency .
