On military aircraft carriers, twice a day or more all members of the crew stop all operations to perform a FOD (Foreign Object Disposal) walk, in which they walk shoulder to shoulder across the flight deck looking for any foreign object as small as 1/8" in diameter. This is to prevent the disasterous consequences that could result if one of these objects were sucked into a jet intake or blown around by jet exhaust or prop wash. Keep this in mind as you work on your systems.
