How does a tool get marked for accountability?

A tool is marked for accountability through a versatile approach that allows for different methods, including tags or sensors. This is important in ensuring that the tools can be tracked and managed effectively, reducing the risk of foreign object debris (FOD) and maintaining operational safety.

Using a variety of methods for marking tools ensures flexibility based on the situation, tools themselves, or organizational policies. Tags can be attached to tools for easy visibility and identification, while sensors might provide electronic tracking capabilities. This adaptability is essential for effective inventory management and accountability.

Relying solely on a specific method, such as printing directly on the tool or using only QR codes, limits the options available for effective tracking and accountability of tools. Therefore, using any suitable method ensures that all tools can be marked efficiently, enhancing overall FOD prevention measures.
