FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MedAire Partners with MBAA for October Safety Day – Offers Training Discount
TEMPE, Ariz. – October 4, 2007– Tempe, Ariz.-based MedAire Inc. (ASX:MDE), medical education, expertise and equipment provider, is partnering with the Minnesota Business Aviation Association (MBAA) for the first-ever MBAA Safety Awareness Forum Oct. 8 at the Country Inn and Suites, Bloomington, Minn.
The one-day safety event for corporate aviation professionals focuses on the development of an accident-prevention mindset and on hangar safety. The event, which begins at 8:30 a.m. and concludes at 3:30 p.m., will include the following seminars and guest speakers:
Ed Mackey, Senior Medical Instructor, MedAire Inc.:
Morning Session 1: “Ensuring a Safety Culture Exists in the Hangar”
Morning Session 2: “Crewmember Medical Training...More Than Just First Aid”
Doug Carr, Vice-President for Safety & Regulation, NBAA
Lunch Presentation: “Corporate Aviation Safety in the 21st Century”
Brian Hogan, Vice-President, United States Aviation Underwriters, Inc. (USAU)
Afternoon Session 1: “Applying Your Best Practices for Maintenance Ops and Ramp Safety”
Afternoon Session 2: “Applying Your Best Practices in Using Your Flight Ops Manual”
“We believe so much in the importance of safety training that we’re offering our hangar safety course the two days immediately following the Forum, Oct. 9- 10, for only a third of the standard price,” said James A. Williams, MedAire CEO. Training will take place at JetChoice Hangar at the Downtown St. Paul Airport.
“We want to get the message out to the aviation community about the importance of safety training in aviation,” said David P. Clark, president of MBAA. “And we want pilots, operators and maintenance professionals to have the necessary tools to prevent accidents from happening. One accident is one too many – especially when it could have been avoided with the proper training and exposure.”
Registration for the one-day event includes lunch and costs $60 for MBAA members and $75 for non-members. To register and learn more, contact Monica Babcock at 651.225.1900 or visit:www.mbaa-mn.org.
