Bristow Academy and Grey Owl Aviation Consultants are pleased to announce that they have joined forces to bring Human Factors training to the Helicopter Industry.
Bristow Academy is expanding its training schedule beginning in May 2011, and Grey Owl will facilitate a series of workshops at Bristow Academy’s domestic locations. These workshops will be open to the public and will be advertised on both Bristow Academy’s as well as on Grey Owl’s website. The partnership agreement will also offer client workshops in which Bristow and Grey Owl will provide a customized Human Factors training experience for individual client organizations. These client workshops will be held at the customer’s location and can be tailored to meet the organization’s safety culture needs. Grey Owl has developed additional one-day Recurrent Human Factors Workshops (Phase II - VII) which further explore various aspects of error prevention strategies in aviation.
