The Wright way to stay safe
31 October 2025
In December 1903, brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright made history with the first powered flight of their Wright Flyer aircraft. ✈️
Since then, aviation technology has advanced beyond anything they could have imagined. Today’s aircraft help make the world a little smaller and we’re lucky to work with them every day. 🌎
👉 But now safety matters more than ever.
Protecting yourself and keeping others safe whilst operating near aircraft are crucial to ensuring that everyone goes home safe. 🏠
With engines getting bigger and lots more moving parts, there are more things that can potentially cause harm. These things also impact costs as aircraft become more expensive to repair. In 2022-2023, major repairs costs for aircraft that are grounded rose by a staggering 30%.
A single mistake can have a huge impact. 😬
✅ Always follow the Golden Rules. If something looks unsafe, stop work immediately.
Remember that the Wright brothers didn’t fly alone. They worked together and relied on teamwork to get the job done.
Today, safety is still a team effort. 💙
