SAFETY AND QUALITY

SAFETY IS AT THE HEART OF EVERYTHING WE DO

We’re proud of our industry-leading safety record and we’re at the forefront of developing and improving safety standards in the helicopter sector. We believe in taking care of our customers, our employees, our aircraft, and the environment.

Every one of our employees has a commitment to maintaining our global safety standards for both our customers and colleagues. You can count on us to take care of your people, every step of the way.

THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY, ONBOARD AND ON BASE

Thanks to our drive to always innovate and go beyond, we have a safety infrastructure that is second to none and spans every aspect of our business.

Our impressive safety record is built on advanced training programs, best-in-class maintenance practices and transformative technologies. Our modern fleet is equipped with the latest technology and innovative flight, terrain, aircraft and engine monitoring systems. Flight and performance data is also reviewed and analysed so we can constantly improve our global operations standards and training procedures.

YOUR SAFETY IS OUR HIGHEST PRIORITY

SAFETY CASE SYSTEM

We have developed a single and consistent way of assessing any hazards, no matter where they are in the world, using common risk language – meaning we are able to assess all hazards against a global standard of acceptable operational risk, and if any exceed that level, we can quickly act to bring that level down.

LINE OPERATIONS SAFETY AUDIT

Our programme capturing data about how our crews react to threats and errors which is translated into improvements in operations and training across our global standards.

AIRLINE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Our aviation industry best practice planning software consolidates all crew management in one system.

AUTOMATED MAINTENANCE AND OVERHAUL SYSTEM

A comprehensive, fully integrated software system that coordinates maintenance, engineering and logistics across our global operations.

OPERATIONAL FLIGHT PLANNING SYSTEM

Our OFPS puts flight information at the fingertips of our crews, so that they can reduce cockpit workload and create the safest flight environment for our passengers.

FLIGHT DATA MONITORING

Our powerful safety tool that studies operational trends from flight data allows us to identify and address operational risks and constantly review and enhance procedures.

LEADING BEST PRACTICE ACROSS THE HELICOPTER SERVICES SECTOR

We take a leadership role in industry collaboration to develop, adopt, and share best practices, emerging safety systems, tools and initiatives across the rotary and fixed wing aviation industry. We’re a founding member of HeliOffshore, the global safety organisation for the offshore aviation industry, and we continue to support the International Helicopter Safety Team.

CHC ANNUAL SAFETY AND QUALITY SUMMIT

Our theme for this year’s summit, taking place in Vancouver from 14th – 16th November 2023, is ‘Reset 2024: Developing New Safety Mindsets’.

The offshore helicopter industry has had to adapt – quickly –to meet changing demand over the past five years. But, this state of permacrisis has accelerated the accident rate industry-wide. How do we prioritize safety whilst protecting our industry’s sustainability?

Together, we will develop a succession plan to ensure the safety and quality of our industry in 2024 and beyond.
