FOD Reporting

Employees need an easy and reliable way of reporting FOD issues. This can be done in several ways (reporting to a supervisor, FOD report paperwork, direct reporting to FOD Advisors or the FOD Manager).

An organization has the responsibility to find what works best for them when it comes to FOD reporting. FPS 2020 requires there to be a way for employees to report FOD related issues effectively and efficiently and when an incident is reported, an organization must make every attempt to determine a root cause.

FOD incidents are classified as preventable and non-preventable. Incidents are considered preventable except those caused by natural environment or wildlife. This includes hail, ice, animals, insects, sand, and birds. All FOD incidents will be reported to the FOD Manager no later than 24 hours after the incident has occurred.
