The State of Aerospace & Defense Workforce Health 2027
How aerospace, defense and MRO organizations actually run chromium (VI) and beryllium surveillance, respirator clearance, audiometry and long-latency record retention — and where fragmentation between facilities, programs, vendors and the medical record quietly costs the most.
Four findings from this year's benchmark
The median aerospace program runs surveillance across multiple plants, depots, provider groups and spreadsheets that do not share a record.
Respirator clearance, audiometry and exposure exams are frequently repeated when a technician transfers sites or programs and current status is not visible.
Cr(VI) and beryllium evidence is hardest to reconstruct years later because exposure, clinical and assignment data live in different systems.
Organizations on one structured clinical record cut clearance-cycle and audit-prep time dramatically.
