SAS - To be blunt, as it was put to me by a senior safety advisor from one company "When we are in court, and the judge asks what steps we took to prevent this accident, we have to show realistic risk reduction"
I took that a resignation that accidents will occur (Its a helicopter, of course accidents will happen) but if systems and procedures can be implemented, without eating into too much of the profits, since OGP is actually a profit making business and not a civil service. I think thats a point many of us overlook, we work in a profit making business, not a charity. You get in that helicopter knowing that you are part of that business. Costs will always be trimmed to make a business as lean as possible, its called market competition. Sadly safety has a budget too
