ABOUT TRISOFT COVERS

• Time pressure. Incidents happen most often when teams are feeling pressure to get aircraft moved quickly.
• Lack of personnel. Trying to move an aircraft when not enough people are available to provide safe visibility of all four corners of the aircraft can result in incidents.
• Repositioning an aircraft and impacting against another aircraft or piece of equipment.
• Failing to set the brakes on equipment like APUs or toolboxes, which blow or are pushed into an aircraft.
• Failing to “keep eyes up” around aircraft. Team members walking or using equipment often impact the underside of a fuselage or wing because driver was looking straight forward and did not (or could not) see aircraft surfaces above.
• Tow bar failure. A tow bar in poor condition or improperly fastened, could result in loss of control of an aircraft in tow.
• Failing to use protective equipment like edge protection, bumpers and covers.

Trisoft Covers can’t prevent every mishap, but the visibility and discipline of using these high-visibility, high-density foam covers will improve your safety culture and reduce painful (or painfully expensive) incidents in your hangar.
