CANSO was delighted by the high standard of entries for the Global Safety Award this year and encourages organisations or groups to consider entering a submission next year. Successful recipients or teams need to show how they have introduced, improved or made an important safety contribution which has reduced aviation risk in the previous 12 months. This may be a local, regional or global contribution and may encompass a process, procedure, technology or training improvement.
