Foam Drawer Insert is a measure of ensuring safety, efficiency, improved productivity, and savings within the factory or workplace environment, especially in the aerospace and automotive fields.

Flexible foam inserts can be placed in drawer cabinets or tool trolley drawers for storing delicate items such as measuring tools or irregularly shaped tools. To achieve a snug fit, shapes can be cut out of the foam using a suitable tool. They are normally made of polyethylene.

With a highly effective method of instantly seeing that all of the required tools for the required job are in place, work can begin with the knowledge that the job or shift should be free of any tooling issues. To assist in the effectiveness of tool drawer, the foam inserts are often made in dual colour material. This makes it even quicker to see if a tool is not in position. The original ‘shadow boards’ do indeed seem to throw a shadow in the empty pocket space when the foams are used in a single colour, but with dual coloured foams, it is much more visually definite.

The benefits of having properly organized tools with Foam Drawer Inserts include protection of expensive kit, rapid tool location for instant use, prevention of tools sliding around during transit, avoids loss or theft of tools, easy to see if tools are not replaced, safety and peace of mind as tools will not be left within aircraft/vehicles/machinery. Foreign Object Damage was originally an aviation term for the damage attributed to a foreign object i.e. an item that doesn’t belong or is not a part of the aircraft.

It can be expressed in physical or economic terms that may or may not degrade the product's required safety and/or performance characteristics. FOD describes debris on or around an aircraft or damage done to an aircraft. One of the ‘culprits’ of damage and hazards caused came from mechanics and engineers who had been working on the aircraft and inadvertently left-hand tools behind after servicing or repair.

When a tool has been used, a mechanic can instantly see whether it has been returned to the drawer or not, thus avoiding accidentally leaving it behind in an area that could cause serious damage. The clean sheets of foam ensure the customer has full opportunity to customize to their specific facility. No matter the tools in the workplace or the size of the tool box, custom foam inserts are flexible and can be made handy anywhere.
