A MAINT TOOL CRIB EMPLOYEE FEELS HE WAS SLIGHTLY COERCED INTO SERVICING ANOTHER AIRLINE'S OXYGEN BOTTLE AND SIGNING FOR THE WORK.

Narrative

MY WORK CLASSIFICATION IS MAINT TOOL CRIB NOT LINE MAINT. STATION MANAGER ASKED ME TO SERVICE ANOTHER ACR'S OXYGEN BOTTLE WITHOUT FIRST GOING TO THE MAINT LEAD ON DUTY. I WAS STANDING IN THE MAINT READY ROOM TALKING TO 2 PEOPLE FROM HEADQUARTERS (MR X WAS ONE OF THEM) ABOUT THE ZZZ1 TOOL CRIB. THE STATION ADMINISTRATION ASSISTANT WAS ALSO PRESENT. THE STATION MGR; MR W; WALKED IN WITH AN OXYGEN BOTTLE STILL IN ITS BOX; FROM ANOTHER ACR (ACR Y); AND ASKED ME TO SVC IT. I THOUGHT IT STRANGE HE DID NOT GO DIRECTLY TO THE MAINT LEAD; WHO WAS SITTING IN A CHAIR IN THE READY ROOM ALSO. I TOOK THE BOTTLE TO OUR OXYGEN SVCING ROOM AND BEFORE I SVCED IT; I WENT BACK TO THE OFFICE TO ASK IF I WOULD BE SIGNING OFF THE LOGBOOK FOR THIS BOTTLE OR ANY OTHER PAPERWORK. THE MGR FROM ACR Y WAS THERE ALSO WITH MR W AND BOTH SAID NO. CONTRACT MAINT WOULD SIGN THE LOGBOOK AND ANY PAPERWORK. IN RETROSPECT; I HAD A FEELING I SHOULD HAVE STOPPED THERE; BUT WENT AHEAD AND SVCED THE BOTTLE PER OUR MAINT MANUAL AND HANDED THE BOTTLE BACK TO THE ACR Y MANAGER. SHORTLY THEREAFTER; MR W HANDED ME SOME PAPERWORK THAT GOES WITH THE BOTTLE TO SIGN THAT I HAD SVCED THE BOTTLE. I SIGNED MY NAME ONLY AND DATE. I FEEL THAT I WAS SLIGHTLY COERCED IN SVCING THIS BOTTLE; DUE TO SOME DISCORD BTWN MAINT AND THE ACR Y MGR THAT MR W KNEW ABOUT THIS AT THE TIME; AND WENT DIRECTLY TO ME.
