I downloaded the training and the Risk assessment, but what i'm having trouble with is reading the spec and being able to translate it to real life. What I can do at my job in order to comply.

2. Early design consideration for FOD prevention, resistance to damage, foreign object entrapment, etc.
3. Assembly sequencing and maintenance/manufacturing techniques that include proper care and use of assembly/maintenance equipment and parts protective devices.
4. Handling of material.
5. Housekeeping.
6. Control of tools and personal items.
7. Control of hardwarel consumables.
8. Measuring techniques for analysis, trending, and feedback.
9. Incident investigation/reporting, "lessons learned."
10. Control of hazardous material
II. Access controls.
12. Awareness!Employee Feedback.

Preventive Practices
1. Follow procedures. 2. Practice good housekeeping, "Clean-As-You-Go." 3. Account for all tools, hardware and equipment at specific intervals.
4. Use x-ray, borescope, and other state-of-the-art equipment inaccessible areas to inspect
5. Provide worker awareness to FOD causes.
6. Establish designated storage areas for ladders, hoses. tool boxes and other work aids.
7. Industry feedback through lessons learned and benchmarking. See Reference Item 11 and Section 5.1.
8. Some agencies provide visual inspections upon job completion by designated "inspectors."
9. Personnel should be required to have completed FOD training before being given access to designated areas where FOD may occur.

Also look at this post FOD (Foreign Object Damage/Debris) Control Procedure and there are some useful templates and forms here FOD Prevention Plan Template – The FOD Control Corporation

Boeing needs to tighten up their own FOD controls. They found FOD in the wing fuel tanks of several undelivered 737 Max aircraft in storage until that model is cleared for flying. It was disclosed that the FOD was rags and tools. Not the kind of notoriety they need now, especially on that plane. All of that model is being checked for the same FOD.
