Aerospace & Defense Employment Screening Information
Aerospace and defense is a large and complex industry, often serving both commercial and military markets. This sector encompasses a wide variety of safety-sensitive positions that can range from the manufacturing of commercial planes and military aircraft to the development of classified communication satellites. As such, the aerospace and defense job sector often requires employers to follow extensive and detailed employment screening processes.
Background Checks Help Keep the Aerospace and Defence Job Industry Safer (and Protect Employers)
In an industry that poses significant security risks to both employees and customers alike, aerospace and defense employers require a strong background check screening program to prevent safety concerns. To highlight the importance of such programs, a recent investigation into commercial FAA pilots uncovered alarming facts regarding missed background check opportunities.
During the investigation, a news outlet discovered that the FAA relied on 80 Texas-based commercial pilots to self-report any prior convictions, rather than use background screenings, due to a "lack of resources." However, the investigation later revealed that the FAA did in fact conduct proper background checks throughout other areas of Texas, as well as in Florida and Oklahoma.
The Texas-based news outlet then conducted its own background check investigation into the 80 unscreened airline pilots and discovered an alarming amount of unreported prior convictions. Included were 50 convictions involving substance abuse crimes (including DUI), as well as 30 convictions involving aggravated sexual assault of a child, burglary, and other dangerous crimes.
To help close any risk-inducing gaps in your aerospace and defense background check process, be sure to turn to Health Street for all your screening needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Are Background Checks Important for the Aerospace and Defense Industry?
Due to the safety-sensitive and highly secure nature of the aerospace and defense industry, background checks are used by employers to reduce workplace hazards and ensure applicants meet the necessary qualifications.
From aerospace development to military operations, employers are often required to comply with numerous federal policies when conducting defense and aerospace background checks. In fact, certain defense and aerospace positions require high-security clearance and employers must ensure their background screening processes are Department of Defense compliant.
Depending on the specific security clearance tier a position requires, defense employers may need to use FIS (Federal Investigative Standard) equivalent background checks to remain Department of Defense compliant. The Federal Investigative Standard (FIS) is used to determine eligibility for U.S. Government (USG) employment and the ability to hold a sensitive position.
Aside from the purposes of defense, aerospace background checks are also often required by employers who must remain in line with FAA compliance. Job positions that fall under the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), such as commercial airline pilots, will require a high clearance background check that assesses the federal criminal records system as well as credit history.
