Air travel is safer than ever, thanks to active safety management and accident investigation. According to 2012 data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), if you were to take a flight every day, odds are you could go more than 13,500 years without an accident.

Safety is the number one priority for the aviation industry. We work with everyone from aircraft manufacturers to air traffic control and government bodies all over the world to manage air safety and accident investigation. We work with partners at every stage from the development of aircraft, through to airline operators, airports and regulatory bodies.

Findings from past accident investigations have resulted in many changes to way the aerospace industry operates; changes which continue to prevent accidents and save lives.

We are actively involved in providing education, training and research for a number of areas related to air safety including:

Human Factors – human error remains one of the main causes of an accident. Pilots, cabin crew, maintenance engineers and airport ground staff are just some of the people who ultimately have a role to play in assuring air safety. Monitoring and assessment of workload and responsibilities is essential for understanding how human error might be prevented. 
Accident Investigation – extensive training for investigators covering all aspects from collecting evidence safely on an accident site, through the critical stages of technical analysis, to the publication of a final report and recommendations.
Safety Management – undertaking research into areas such as helicopter safety, material failures and the development of safety culture.
