Taking Care Of Technicians Is A Performance Strategy To Avoid Fatigue The presentation at the Aero-News Innovation Preview by the AeroCreeper company said their chair was started out of necessity to help pilots and aircraft mechanics who suffer from hours of crouching, kneeling, bending and contorting to clean and maintain all areas of their aircraft. The company said AeroCreeper is a low-tech but practical innovation—showing that improving mechanic ergonomics can directly affect aviation efficiency and productivity. It is an adjustable platform “designed to save your neck and your back,” said Marshall Haglund, vice president of marketing at AeroCreeper, highlighting its role in improving ergonomics and efficiency in aircraft maintenance. He said this innovation, produced by the Utah company, has found its way into all the bigger players in aviation for technicians who work in and around aircraft. Fatigue can leave to mistakes and failure, so “taking care of technicians is a performance strategy,” he said.
