BACKGROUND
Aeromedical studies of human factors have focused on the pilot and pilot error rather than on aircraft maintenance workers and maintenance error. This is a report of a survey on medication use in a group of U.S. Air Force aircraft mechanics.
METHODS
A questionnaire was used to retrospectively examine aircraft mechanic medication use, side effects experienced, and return to work.
RESULTS
Of those surveyed, 67% (26/39) returned to work while taking medication that could potentially impair job performance.
CONCLUSION
For flying safety reasons, occupational medicine education for aircraft mechanics and their supervisors should address on-the-job use of prescribed medication and self-medication.
