AC100-1 Safety Management
Need help to understand your obligations under AC100-1? Are you getting started and need help customising the forms and templates to your specific procedures? Are you established but require an independent auditor to carry out process auditing?
Contractor Risk
Need to evaluate shared, overlapping risk with your contractors? Need an independent audit carried out on your Contractors to ensure they are following their written procedures? Are your staff safe in every working environment they encounter? Does the contractor carry sufficient insurance cover?
Remember - Is it a requirement of the Health & Safety at work Act 2015, Section 44, that the PBCU duty holders fully understand all health & safety matters including policies and procedures pertaining to the business they have control or influence over. Do you need help to understand this for your business?

About me...
I have been working in Aviation for 30 years. Starting with fixed wing aircraft in Taranaki (Paul Muller Aircraft) with a move to Gisborne in 1996, becoming involved in Rotary Ops. I married a local Gisborne boy in 2001 and have 2 children who are now young adults. I kind of fell into the Health & Safety side of things as no one else seemed to want to do it. I found it challenging initially and then as I gained more knowledge, it became extremely rewarding. Now I want to share that knowledge with others. After all, we all want our staff to be happy and safe in their work.Â
Aviation is a small and exciting industry.

Incident Reporting
A proactive approach to incident reporting encourages a positive and peaceful culture and ensures your staff are given a voice. By listening to your staff you will encourage participation in your company's health & safety procedures. Making your job easier. Don't overcomplicate your reporting system and ensure it is easily accessible for everyone to use.

Need help meeting Worksafe & CAA Requirements while also producing procedures that are both accurate and practical? Getting this right can mean you then have the option of using your written procedures as a great training tool.

Are you serious about continuous improvement of your SMS? Getting a comprehensive & independent investigation & written report, will provide you with unbiased recommendations & solutions for improvement.
Management of Change
I can help with assessing the risk of introducing new systems, aircraft type, new senior personnel or any changes required due to new legislation. How does the change you are introducing affect your staff and your operating environment? You are required to document any change that may alter the effectiveness of existing safety risk controls.
