Experts in Safety and Quality
The BAR Standard is centred around a risk-based model against actual threats in everyday aviation operations. The Standard aims to provide an objective overview of an organisation’s safety systems and processes to BARS Member Organisations. Safety risk-based audits conducted to an agreed standard on operators are critical elements in providing end-users with the level of safety assurance required by their respective organisations.
Having joined the Program in 2010, our team is highly knowledgeable about the BAR Standard and provides a pragmatic approach to the Standard’s application in a variety of operational contexts.
