The Southern California Aviation Association (SCAA) Safety Stand Down is set to return for 2024 in conjunction with Web Manuals' annual internal user conference Go Digital US in San Diego.

The joint Safety Day initiative, comprising SCAA Safety Stand Down and Go Digital US, will take place on 16 and 17 April respectively and will be the first time the SCAA Safety Stand Down has taken place since 2018. Digital documentation provider Web Manuals will be the key partner and title sponsor for the event's return.

This year's theme is 'Unlocking the Future of Safety Management Systems (SMS)', with the agenda including discussion on cultivating safety leadership, monitoring safety performance and enhancing the health, wellbeing and safety of crew members.

Web Manuals CCO Krister Genmark says: "Reviving SCAA's Safety Stand Down is something the entire Web Manuals team feels passionately about. It's been a privilege to be involved in planning this event, and we're keen to continue our work with the SCAA to support the next generation of aviation professionals. For years, our digital documentation software has enabled companies to ensure compliance with the latest regulations and disseminate crucial safety information across an organisation within minutes. Now, we are going one step further to drive awareness and education throughout southern California."

SCAA is dedicated to providing education, networking, mentoring and scholarship programmes for aspiring aviation professionals within the southern California aviation community. Web Manuals is supporting further SCAA events throughout the year.

Philip Kost, chair of the Safety Committee at SCAA, says: "This year's Safety Stand Down is expected to be our most popular yet, following a six year wait. Web Manuals' support, not only financial but also in planning and co-running all three days, will make it an impactful event for such an important aviation issue."
