I worked on many Aircraft and the rules are extremely Stiff, even down to using a washer out of a new packet IE if you needed 101 washers and you have a pack of 100 the batch and part number has to be entered on to the Data Sheet along with the Date they arrived in to the stores and including the Date they were tested and by Whom, and like food they all have a shelf life and then they are Dumped. and when you open the New packet to take out the one extra you need you have to enter the same Date in to the Data Sheet of the Item you are Building, There is No Grey Areas when it come to building Planes, If you use a part/washer without entering the Data or use a washer that is not on the list you will be Fired quick Smart,

As for Testing things like Bulk Heads and Doors etc we built in House testing Jigs that cost over Half a Million Dollars in order to do a 30 second test and then they were Scrapped, Which I didn't mind because I got many hundreds of meters of Aircraft Quality Steel Cables out of the Skip to use as Tow Ropes, LOL,

Bottom line is Plane Safety at the Factory is Insanely High, even more excessive than a Visiting US President or Royalty. :Y:

Oh and when it comes to Safety and Security, Even though I was Building the things I never got to see one completed until I'd been there 6 or 9 months, and that nearly caused WW III.

I worked on many types of Planes from DASH 8, Jaguar Jet Fighters and Concord and certain Surface to Air Missiles, Which were sold to France Which then caused a hell of a S*** Fight because they then sold them to a certain Country in the Gulf Breaching the Agreement France had with the UK which lead to Our factory being Search and put on Lock Down by Men in Black Suits and Black helicopters,

But here's one of the Planes that I must of help build 50 or 60 of them,

No I worked on the 200/300 series and I stopped doing that around 1997, They started making the 400 in 1999, :Y:

Ohh nooooooh - Hans Brix!

Dash 8 - Good planes - a positive testament to the designer, manufacturer and operators. I would get on one of the those.
