A MESSAGE FROM THE CEO
Aquila Helicopter Rescue Service is focused on the health, safety and well-being of our employees, volunteers, patients and the communities. We work proactively with all stakeholders to identify, assess and control the safety impacts of our services.
​
Our Safety Management System provides a proactive, systematic and structured approach to operational risk management. Our commitment to health, safety and environment is embedded in our company values and reflected in our policies. Health and safety is built into every aspect of our operations from engineering design, planning, emergency management, flight operating and construction, through to mission completion.
​
We have established an integrated system to promote safety at all times. This includes training, safe operating procedures, monitoring by qualified supervisors and reporting processes. This ensures our employees, volunteers and others in or near our workplaces, are safe at all times.
​
‘Safety Hub’ provides an official overview of our business principles, beliefs and practices – including how we work in collaboration with our employees, volunteers, partners and clients to promote positive safety behaviour as a way of life.
​
We all have a role to play in upholding the reputation for excellence and integrity. It is important that you take the time to familiarise yourself with this website and its supporting policies and apply them in your work every day.
