Facts and Figures• U.S. Nationally 50 workers are injured every minute of the 40-hour
week
• Seventeen of these workers die each day in work related injuries/ illnesses
Approximately 5,200 deaths per year
• Technical Operations CO injury average cost is $8,138/29,785dh per incident
Incurred cost for employee injuries was $31/113.46 million for 2006
• Return on Investment in Safety
For every $1/3.66dh invested in safety/HF programs a company will save $4/14.64dh to $6/21.96dh in costs associated with employee injuries

ETESAETESA stands for Engineering Threat Error Safety Analysis• This process is how to utilize and conduct a
standardized post event investigative process for identifying threats and errors. – it’s a process and a form that enables us to collect and analyze Threat/Error information and make changes, so we can prevent the errors from happening again. The ETESA form is based upon the Boeing MEDA Maintenance Error Decision Aid form.
• ETESA reporting, tracking, trending, and risk analysis to decrease Ground Damage, Flight Irregularities, Maintenance Re-Works and OJI cost. In association with SDS. ETESA findings to be presented to Emirates Safety Board for review, risk assessment, corrective action, and effectiveness.

FAA Fatigue Counter Measures Training• Fatigue is a widespread and unavoidable by-product of 24/7
service operations. It is more than simply being tired, and its effects are more than falling asleep. Fatigue is a complex state characterised by a lack of alertness and reduced mental and physical performance, often accompanied by drowsiness. Fatigue can affect all maintenance tasks by impairing judgment, decreasing concentration and increasing memory lapses, reducing motivation and mood, as well as other performance effects Fatigue poses an elevated risk to aviation maintenance professionals and the our customers.
• Fatigue Training is an effective fatigue risk management tool. Fatigue countermeasure training has been utilised across a number of industries with 24/7 operations for more than 20 years (e.g., trucking, railroad, mining, water transport).
