S.A.F.E. Structure Designs is pleased to announce the delivery of custom ergonomic maintenance stands to the Airbus Helicopters Maintenance Training center in Grand Prairie, Texas. The aircrafts that have been outfitted at the training center are the EC120, EC130 and H145. The SAFETY FIRST ergonomic stands allow technicians SAFE access to all areas of the aircraft while creating a highly and efficient ergonomic environment. The stands are designed so that the instructor can train students on how to work efficiently when performing maintenance on the aircraft components. In return, the students are able to focus in more detail on the skill sets offered by the Airbus training instruction due to the safety and comfort provided by the stands. 

S.A.F.E. Structure Designs equipped the Airbus stands with the latest features including anti-fatigue mat and tool. The stands contour to the aircraft fuselage with sliders leaving zero gaps. They are light weight, easy to move and are adjustable in height which allows them to be used on various aircraft. These stands provide a large work platform for added safety and will be used in all the training programs for maintenance technicians. Technicians from around the world train in the support of Airbus helicopters at this facility. 

“Airbus Helicopters previously had an old set of platforms that became outdated as OSHA rules and SAFETY guidelines have improved over the years. The Airbus team was keen of staying current with the highest safety stands so they sought S.A.F.E.  to develop stands that could provide safe access all areas of the aircraft and improve the technicians’ efficiency through ergonomics.” said Johnny Buscema, S.A.F.E. President and CEO.  “During training, maintenance technicians must access all areas of the aircraft for extended periods of time.  Our custom design provides the instructor and the student with a stand that improves safety which allows the student to concentrate on the training.  This support equipment enhances the outstanding maintenance training provided to Airbus customers. We have provided similar support equipment for a wide range of helicopters and airplanes in both the civilian and military sector.”
