ARGUS International, Inc (ARGUS) is pleased to welcome Air Taurus, a Ukrainian helicopter operator, as a new PRISM SMS subscriber. Air Taurus is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AYR Group.

PRISM (Professional Resources in System Management), a wholly owned subsidiary of ARGUS, was introduced last year as the ultimate solution for operators seeking to develop or maintain a quality safety management system (SMS).

"Our operating environment differs from the average operator and demands a unique SMS program. We found PRISM to be the only SMS product available to support our organization's needs," said Stefan Jocks, President of Air Taurus. "I am confident that with the tools provided by PRISM, we will realize the benefits of a well-run safety management system."

Recognizing the challenges operators around the globe face when implementing a safety management system, PRISM SMS provides a constructed pathway to ease the burden of compliance and improve the effectiveness of a flight operation. PRISM SMS is fully IS-BAO compliant and is aligned with the ICAO Four Pillars of Safety Management.

"PRISM SMS is the only integrated solution that can be customized to fit the specific needs of an organization like Air Taurus," said Bill Yantiss, PRISM Executive Vice President. "PRISM isn't a one size fits all type of product. Instead we work with each organization to tailor the program to their specific needs. That is what makes PRISM so unique and so valuable."

PRISM is uniquely capable to provide system management solutions for the aviation industry. A wholly owned subsidiary of ARGUS, PRISM is a leading organization qualified in the fields of operational safety, security, quality, and environmental management systems.
