NEW Products FROM HAI HELI-EXPO 2019 Small businesses bring innovative products to the industry. By Jen Boyer W New Services


HeliExperts International: Heliport Safety Certification With no universal oversight regulations, heliports around the world vary considerably in level of safety. HeliExperts International (HEI) launched its Heliport Safety and Certification Program at HAI HELI-EXPO 2019 to address critical industry needs for increased heliport risk mit- igation. Using best practices from the FAA, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and industry leaders, the program seeks to identify risks before they can cause an accident.


“Without standardized heliport regulations regarding heliport safety,


the vast majority of heliports contain significant safety risks,” says HEI Managing Member Ray Syms, whose company has designed more than 850 heliports and audited more than 3,000. “Te idea behind the program is to provide a solution for operators, insurance companies, and municipalities to determine if heliport risks are mitigated to the highest degree possible.” For more information, visit the company's website at www.heliexpertsinternational.com.
