Wow. This old video is very easy to follow and engaging. But it forgets one major question: why people get careless on certain duties? You can't just ask people to be careful all the time. Carelessness is embodied in human nature and happens to everyone, including very experienced and rule abiding professionals. One way is to male it very simple and easy for people to check their job.

You absolutely can ask and expect people to be careful all of the time, it's a pretty normal thing. Especially in the Armed Forces where we're doing things that aren't just _"Sealth & Hafety man says you need a hi-vis and amplivox to use the photocopier"_ dangerous, but _"You've not eaten in 24hrs, not slept in 48hrs, tabbed 70 miles in 72hrs, freezing cold, wetter than an otter's pocket, and working by touch in pitch black maintaining complete silence - and if you put that thing back to front_ you'll _be fine, but three wives on Tidworth patch are getting their doors knocked"_ dangerous.
Checks at every step and keeping every step small enough to make it easy (as much as possible) to do right. That starts with the design engineers, too. Breaking complex tasks down into simple, easily manageable, and easily verifiable sub-tasks is probably the most thankless and one of the most importance parts of generating maintenance procedures.
@@jamesharding3459 "breaking complex tasks down into simple, easily manageable, and easily verifiable sub-tasks is probably the most thankless and one of the most importance parts of generating maintenance procedures" Can't agree more.

It's always money. People don't care most often if they're underpaid or/and if they have too much on their heads, which usually comes from cutting costs by shorting the staff. And nobody can't be right all the time, expeciting such awareness is straight up lunacy.
Which is why most professions involving spinning or lifting something, construction, heavy objects, machinery, or possibly dangerous vehicles/ machinery involve (or should involve) training videos that are meant to deter you from making careless mistakes to prevent you from say getting sliced open and spun like a rotisserie chicken on a spinning lathe, something that has happened to a factory worker. In (at least) American drivers ed they show videos of people getting killed in car accidents and the aftermath to shock you into the reality of the damage of a crash at normal speeds automobiles operate at in an attempt to increase safe driving habits- doesn't work as people over 18 can just go and get a license pretty much negating other people on the roadway acting in a safe and responsible manner. The idea is that its a group effort to maintain safety as one careless mistake that seems harmless (video example: a misplaced washer) can cost you or other people life or limb.
@@midnightslasher6049 I mean the other big part of the problem isn't even just drunks, it's hangovers. I feel like a LOT of industrial accidents are somehow related to the type of dude doing this work doing beer or shots on the weekend, coming back, freshly hungover, and thinking because he is no longer drunk he's straight enough to operate machinery. I can't even tell which is more dangerous at that point honestly, being hungover, or being intoxicated.
New problem: Two damaged aircraft. Solution: Possibly kick the ratings involved. As an American, I somehow always find humor in British training films.
@@femiwelch3849 You think so? A total of 42 F35s have been delivered so far for the RAF and Fleet Air Arm and on the last exercise the QE had no aircraft! Compare that with just 1 US carrier which will typically have 80+ aircraft.
How about working 15 hour night shifts with six people, then the manning review team comes in, investigates and then cuts another leaving only five! Penny pinching costs money and lives 😂
Fun fact, that bird works for Boeing now.
So you are saying what? That every Boing *(sic) mishap boradcast should come with 'WAPPPP>>>>WHAAAPPPPP>>>>>WHAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP" jingle.
Love it😂😂
@@ImplodedAtom and it does some work for BAE too!
Not a terribly smart bird.. He hasn't learned any lessons in nearly 50 years!
I've done a thorough Root Cause Analysis and found the issue to be the Royal Navy's employment of birds as maintainers.
"Dat's what happens when yer bring in wimmen into the Navee..."

Narrator is Paul Vaughan, famous for many voiceovers. Voice of my teenage years listening to Horizon on BBC.
Try Geoffrey Palmer. Very similar though ;-)
The shot of the mechanics working on the undercarriage of the hovering Sea King is not something you see often!
I have performed that scary task on a Canadian Sea King back in 2010, my heart was pounding.

The real question here is to ask why a BIRD needs multiple parachutes "for insurance"?

Not true.
Complacency leads to carelessness. These are the results of jobs that are easy and monotonous.

Quite a good video, despite its age. Everything still applies.

Look for the Hawker Sea Fury. M
Complacency kills.
Yes i wondered if that bolt should have grease on it and not moly.
Blade separation was put down to corroded bolt that had molybdenum grease on it that reacted with salt air to produce acid.
That's literally applicable to *every* job

@@drek9k2 Well said.
How would you like it if bits fell off the aircraft you were maintaining? (:
Pretty sure the narrator is Geoffrey Palmer and the bird is Peter Hawkins.
I was thinking the bird sounded like Michael Palin.
Exactly what I first thought, but someone has correctly identified the narrator as Paul Vaughan.
Sure it’s not Keir Starmer?
:"So you've been stupid.." You wouldn't get away with that today!
Yes carelessness, one of students last week scrapped wing tip on fence post...and all that space to miss it.

From the days when aircraft carriers had aircraft!
They still do… the current ones have f35Bs. I don’t understand this comment?

Lionel was based on Andrew, when he was hanging around with Epstein.
the voice sounds a bit like Steve Coogan...

Bird need parachute, according to the British.
You know what? I feel safer already.

Wow, look at all the types of aircraft we don't have anymore 😅
Rule #1: Never throw up on board. 🤢🤮

Everybody makes careless mistakes it just means you are a normal human being.
When Britain had a meaningful Air Force.
