Safety

The improvement of aviation safety is the number one priority for ANSPs. Air Traffic Management seeks to reduce incidents that compromise safety while at the same time accommodating an ever-increasing number of flights, and improvements in airspace efficiency. New technologies and procedures are being introduced to achieve these aims, and CANSO’s safety work programme is designed specifically to help ANSPs improve their safety through elements such as safety management systems and benchmarking. The focus of CANSO’s safety network is the Safety Standing Committee, which meets once a year for a major seminar. Throughout the year subcommittees of the Standing Committee meet to further the CANSO safety work programme.

Brendan Booth, Safety Manager

Brendan is CANSO's Safety Manager on secondment from NATS, the UK ANSP. He has ten years' experience working at airports, and for the past 4 years has project managed elements of the NATS corporate change programme and the NATS Strategic Plan for Safety.

Brendan is responsible for leading the delivery of the CANSO Safety Program including the Imagine 2010 goals. The objective of the work is to give practical help and add value to the membership through coordination of the activities with the Safety Standing Committee, Executive Committee Champion, and others.

This weekend is a big one for me, my first time in front of the ExCom, I hope they don’t bite. At least I will be in good company, I think it is Graham Lake’s first time in front of the whole group together.
