When the National Transportation Safety Board declared in 2006 that aeromedical operators needed to implement programs that support systematic evaluation of flight risks, Aerosafe Risk Management had already been advising helicopter pilots on risk management around the world for nine years. The company, founded by Kimberley Turner, developed a risk-management program for the Royal Australian Air Force and Royal Australian Navy, British Airways, Shell Aircraft and ICAO.

 


Today Aerosafe has served more than 350 clients in 16 countries worldwide, encompassing the defense, aviation, regulatory and transport sectors. The company’s work lead to it launching the Aviation Safety Network (ASN) in 2005, which allowed operators in Australia, the U.S. and Canada to address the NTSB’s concerns about air-ambulance and emergency medical service safety.

 


The ASN offers a common risk management program that members can tailor to their specific needs. Elements include a venture risk-planning module, corporate governance and oversight model, an enterprise risk-management framework, operational risk-management tools and practices and an online incident-reporting system with trend-analysis capability. Education is also a key component of ASN member offerings.
