Throughout the flying season, safety and operations briefings are conducted to maintain awareness of GGC operational procedures for existing club members and to introduce GGC operational procedures to new club members. All club members are encouraged to attend at least one of these briefings each season. Copies of previous briefings are available below:
2008 GGC Annual General Meeting Safety Presentation
These presentations may take a couple of minutes to load if you are on a dial-up connection. The spring and summer presentations are summaries of the contents of the GGC Field Operations Manual and GGC Field Operations Training Guide.
OUR SAFETY CULTURE
The process through which we continually manage safety related issues at GGC is described in the GGC Safety Management Manual which forms an integral part of our overall club operating procedures.
The objectives of our Safety Management System are :
GGC members are encouraged to report incidents or safety issues to any member of the GGC safety committee identified below. 2007 safety committee members are:
Roger Hildesheim - Safety Officer (lucile@istar.ca)
Additionally members can report incidents/issues using the "Black Book" which is kept in the flight shack throughout the flying season.
OUR SAFETY DATABASE
Our most recent SAC Safety Audit (2001) can be found here.
Our annual safety reports are available below:
1998 GGC Annual Safety Report
Additionally, we have undertaken to perform historical analysis of incidents/accidents across multiple years. Each incident/accident has been rated according to a level of severity (Low, Medium, High) and by type (Operational, Technical, Environmental). This information is summarized in the charts shown below.
