Director of Safety Dave Hardin added, “I want to congratulate each and every employee for the hard work and effort in ensuring the safety of our crewmembers and those entrusted to our care.
“The fact that we received this recognition is a testament to the hard work and efforts of each and every employee of Air Evac Lifeteam,” he added.
In a letter from HAI president Matthew Zuccaro, he stated, “You can take great pride in the face that you have met the requirements for this award. You achievement not only reflects favorably upon your organization but HAI members and the entire international helicopter community as well.
“Because of your efforts to reduce accident risk, the helicopter industry is better prepared to meet the challenges currently before us and those of the future.”
“It is rewarding to see this award presented to Air Evac Lifeteam again in recognition of the safety culture and attention to detail of our teams,” added president and CEO Seth Myers. “Our safety program is a collaborative effort and we’re honored to receive the recognition.”
