What must transportation vehicles be free of while transporting FOD sensitive products?

Transportation vehicles must be free of loose debris while transporting Foreign Object Damage (FOD) sensitive products because loose debris poses a risk of contamination or damage to these sensitive items. Loose debris can include small objects like dirt, dust, packaging materials, or any items that could dislodge and cause harm to the products being transported. Such debris could impede the operation of sensitive machinery or electronics, leading to malfunctions or failures.

Maintaining a clean and organized transportation environment is essential to ensure that FOD-sensitive products are delivered safely and without risk of damage. By focusing on the removal of loose debris, transportation practices can minimize the potential for accidents or costly repairs associated with FOD. This highlights the critical importance of thorough inspections and cleaning protocols in logistics and transportation practices related to FOD-sensitive items.
