Dave, My knowledge of 'FOD' comes from the Navy, in particular, aircraft carriers. It is an acronym standing for 'Foreign Object Damage' or 'Foreign Object Debris'.
On an aircraft carrier, there are periodic 'FOD patrols' whereby the crew walk the flight deck, shoulder to shoulder, stern to bow and bow to stern, to identify and remove any object that might get 'sucked up' into the intake of a jet engine as aircraft are being launched. A particularly bad time for an engine failure and usually costs an aircraft and not uncommonly a crew.
