The jerkwith the squirt

How closely do you check and monitor your refuelling?

A horror situation occurred the other day during a rotors running refuel when the refueller attached the static line to an expensive peice of paintwork then almost inserted the nozzle into the tank with the nozzle contaminated with grass cuttings. Fortunately I was on hand to avert the loss of paint and to ensure that no FOD entered the tank. It was obvious to me that the refueller had been given the job but was totally unaware of his responsibility that he had to deliver clean safe fuel to the aircraft. There might be others who have the job but have never undergong correct training.

Is your refueller fully conversant with his duties and responsibilities?
