IHST is a volunteer effort
Analysis and implementation processes developed
by the IHST, used by international participants
Data sets (accident reports), analysts from industry
and government formed and sustained locally
IHST assists with process training and
standardization, international coordination
IHST coordinates performance metrics
ongoing data mining efforts
seeking regional data sources (flight hours)
GFSC briefing – June 3, 2009

IHST is following a proven model

This is a worldwide effort
All IHST participants using a process adapted from CAST.
Key attributes:
All recommendations directly rooted in accident data.
Regional ownership –
- Data is owned and analyzed by those most familiar with
it.
- Safety recommendations are implemented by teams
most familiar with local needs and challenges.
JHSAT and JHSIT lead teams responsible for training/coaching
regional teams, measuring the results of the safety
recommendations and implementation effectiveness.

Conclusions:
We have a problem – Unanimity in the worldwide helicopter
community; long term accident trends are unacceptable.
We know how to fix it – Using a data driven, stakeholder
consensus process we’ve identified the drivers behind
helicopter accidents. Implementation of SMS, training,
information and maintenance enhancements are the
top priority targets. Demonstrated benefits in OGP, EMS, ALEA
and other well funded and managed operations. Effectiveness
measures will be used.
We can’t do it alone – Any entity with accident data willing to
use the IHST analysis and implementation process is a viable
candidate to join this worldwide initiative.

Request:
IHST seeks to engage helicopter industry stakeholders in the GCC
Operators
Regulators
Researchers
Next considerations:
Identify responsible leaders
Identify an accident dataset or use survey results
Learn the IHST analysis process
Program resources, timing, implementation actions come under local
(GCC) ownership, day to day work not managed by IHST
However, the basic analysis and implementation process developed by
the IHST should be used to develop outputs compatible with the
overall IHST effort
