To ensure safety during maintenance, what should be prioritized regarding loose objects?

Prioritizing safety during maintenance involves mitigating the risks associated with loose objects that could fall or cause accidents. Carrying tools and other items in secure containers enhances safety by preventing them from accidentally dropping and causing injury or damage. Secure containers ensure that items are organized and easily accessible while reducing the likelihood of losing small tools or components.

This approach is essential because loose objects can become hazardous when they roll or shift unexpectedly, creating trip hazards or potential for injury during engine service. By employing secure containers, maintenance personnel can focus on their tasks without the distraction or danger posed by unrestrained items.

While avoiding carrying items in pockets is a safety consideration, using secure containers provides a more comprehensive means of ensuring that all tools and materials are safely contained and organized, therefore, facilitating a safer maintenance environment.
