Safety Standdown
For more than 20 years, Bombardier has held its annual Safety Standdown—a knowledge-based aviation safety training program that aims to make aviation safer for the industry. The program is offered at no cost to all aviation professionals, regardless of the equipment they operate. Originally conceived in 1996, the program quickly expanded beyond an annual seminar into a year-round program that continues to tackle aviation safety risks. To date, almost 10,000 corporate, commercial and military aviation professionals have attended Safety Standdown seminars in person, and thousands more via webcast around the world.
In 2023, the theme “Integrity in Safety” focuses on the importance of aviation professionals in all disciplines to be strong safety role models ensuring their actions, values and processes are appropriately aligned at all levels of their organizations. The “Integrity in Safety” premise poses key questions to both aviation professionals as well as their broader aviation teams – and seeks answers to the question, “Are we doing all we can to raise the safety bar industry-wide?”
