Aviation Safety Management

At Safeguard Engineering, we understand all aspects covered within aviation safety requirements, with our multi-disciplinary team being equipped to offer specialist advice and support on all aspects of Aviation Safety and Policy.

Air safety is in our blood

Our experts have extensive experience in DE&S Air System Delivery Teams, holding knowledge on managing Type Airworthiness, as well as in Delivery and Operating Duty Holder organisations, overseeing Continuing Airworthiness and Air System Safety Cases.

We tailor our support to meet your budget, timelines and priorities to deliver the best possible value for money. We also actively provide support mentoring and knowledge transfer to empower our clients to operate effectively in a ‘Decider’ role and make the best use of our additional resources.

The exceptional level of service we provide ensures our clients meet their objectives in a timely, pragmatic, and efficient manner, covering a range of safety capabilities, including safety management, ship air integration, and more.

Safeguard Engineering have supported myself throughout all of the team’s explosive safety support (RFA and H&P), conducting work above and beyond what is expected by contract to assist. Further, even when workloads have increased significantly we have never been refused or delayed deliverables, demonstrating brilliant flexibility to accommodate our changing demands.
