Wingman Pro validates an organization’s safety culture using advanced tools recognized by safety experts and regulatory agencies, according to Wyvern. It is a benchmark above the Wingman certification and is issued once an organization with that certification shows effectiveness in all areas of safety management systems, excellence in addressing human factors and organizational safety culture, and continuous conformity to international standards through an internal audit program.

“This achievement validates their commitment to attaining and maintaining an enduring safety culture that elevates their performance above other operators that are just beginning to embrace the value of formal safety risk management,” said Wyvern CEO Sonnie Bates.
