With the assistance of Tulsa Supply in preparation for the upcoming FAA audit, Self Audit Program would like to encourage everyone to make sure that your areas comply with GPM 12-06, Shelf Life Requirements. All product that are questionable please return them to your local tool crib for disposal, ASAP, no question asked.
NO CHEMICALS ARE ALLOWED IN TOOL BOXES.
All shops or docks, which use shelf life products, are required to have a Chemical Coordinator. Please get to know and support your Chemical Coordinator. Supervisors and Chemical Coordinators make sure that the inventory, which is kept in shops/docks, is properly stored and serviceable. Please make this task part of your daily assignment. Just for the record, the only approved shelf life label is the original, green AA label, and shelf life must be not be expired. (Pedro Mari, Tech Crew Chief of Self Audit)
