Abstract

Aircraft maintenance has always been a significantly important area as it ultimately deals with the safety of all passengers and cargo traveling in the aircraft. Aircraft mechanics that handle such operations have always been in danger concerning their safety. This study concerns with the impact of maintenance workers in an aircraft chassis maintenance. The main aim of the study is to find out whether it has a positive or negative impact on mechanics. This paper summarizes the literature outline and evidence of the relationship between certain exposures important to the maintenance of the aircraft's chassis on the health of mechanics and the causes of this. This part of the studies consisted of relevant chemical components, individual company health danger reports, and limited case study notes documenting symptoms of exposure intoxication, which may have been a result of the database and search form that was used. This study will thus result ultimately in the safety of aircraft mechanics and the methods that have to be followed in order to do so. The overall study is a summarized overview of the data collected from the company Roder Component Service Center s.r.o Airport Košice Slovak Republik.

Uçak Gövde Bakımının Teknisyenlerin Sağlığı Üzerindeki Etkileri

Abstract

Uçak bakımı, uçakta seyahat eden tüm yolcuların ve kargoların güvenliğini ilgilendirdiğinden, büyük bir öneme sahip olmuştur. Bu tür operasyonları gerçekleştiren teknisyenlerin güvenlikleri her zaman tehlikede olmaktadir. Bu çalışma, uçak gövde bakım çalışanları ile ilgilidir. Çalışmanın temel amacı, teknisyen üzerinde olumlu veya olumsuz bir etkisinin olup olmadığını ortaya çıkarmaktır. Bu makale, uçak gövde bakımı için önemli olan teknisyenlerin sağlığı üzerindeki belirli maruziyetler ve nedenleri arasındaki ilişkinin literatür taslağını ve kanıtını özetlemektedir. Çalışmaların bir bölümü, kullanılan veri tabanı ve arama formunun bir sonucu olabilecek ilgili kimyasal bileşenler, bireysel şirket sağlık tehlike raporları ve maruziyet zehirlenmesi semptomlarını belgeleyen sınırlı vaka çalışması notlarından oluşmaktadir. Bu çalışma uçak mekaniğinin güvenliği ve bunun için izlenmesi gereken yöntemler ile sonuçlanacaktır.Bu çalışmada, “Roder Component Service Center S.R.O Airport Košice Slovak Republik” şirketinden toplanan veriler kullanilmiştir.
