Portside subsidiary Baldwin Safety &amp; Compliance has launched an Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP) facilitator program to help operators manage FAA-approved ASAP initiatives. The program offers organizations a secure employee portal for reporting, tracking, and analyzing safety-related events in accordance with the <a href="https://www.faa.gov/newsroom/aviation-voluntary-reporting-programs-1">FAA’s voluntary reporting</a> initiatives.
Designed to support the work of an organization’s ASAP event review committee, Baldwin’s facilitator program helps ensure that meetings with FAA safety inspectors are documented and that corrective actions are tracked to closure. By streamlining administrative needs and recordkeeping, the platform aims to improve responsiveness and insight across the safety reporting process.
Business jet charter firm Talon Air was among the first adopters of the new program. “Baldwin’s responsiveness to our needs and commitment to continuous improvement far exceed what we’ve experienced before,” said Talon director of safety Timothy Martins.
Baldwin noted that many operators benefit from consolidating their ASAP and safety management system (SMS) under one provider. As part of Portside, Baldwin also integrates with broader aviation management software, enabling more unified operational oversight.
