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.

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. 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. ihst.org CHC Safety Summit – Mar/Apr 2009 32 CHC Safety Summit – Mar/Apr 2009 33
