A hanger should be a safe place but ………Rare Boeing 747SP Suffers Major Damage in Hangar Collision
IFA Comment: The ground handling of aircraft can be a hazardous activity. Without effective ways of working, there can be a threat to Airworthiness and a Risk to Life. Safety management is needed in the hanger as much as it’s needed in the cockpit. A good rule of thumb is to count to 5 and say to yourself – is what I am about to do safe?
