Bristow chooses user-friendly Centrik 5 by TrustFlight
Centrik 5 will support Bristow by connecting frontline reporting and compliance activity and supporting multi-hazard, multi-consequence risk assessments that can be linked to SMS reports and compliance findings.
With this selection, Bristow expands its partnership with TrustFlight, building on its existing use of TrustFlight's training and consultancy services delivered through its Baines Simmons division.

TrustFlight, a provider of end-to-end aerospace and defence safety and reliability solutions, has had its Centrik 5 safety software selected by Bristow Group. Bristow will deploy Centrik 5 across its global operations and fleet to strengthen safety reporting, risk assessment, and compliance oversight.

Centrik 5 is part of TrustFlight's complete, end-to-end aerospace safety platform, which combines technology, training and emergency response capabilities to help operators strengthen safety performance across key operational roles and safety frameworks. With this selection, Bristow expands its partnership with TrustFlight, building on its existing use of TrustFlight's training and consultancy services delivered through its Baines Simmons division. Bristow's selection specifically advances its safety reporting, risk and compliance modernisation efforts through its many demanding operational environments.

“Establishing consistent global standards for safety, compliance and HSE requires the right systems to support how our teams operate in real life,” states Russell Gould, chief safety officer, Bristow. “Centrik 5 gives us an intuitive and scalable platform for safety reporting, clear risk visibility and increased engagement across departments.”

Centrik 5 will support Bristow by connecting frontline reporting and compliance activity and supporting multi-hazard, multi-consequence risk assessments that can be linked to SMS reports and compliance findings. Centrik 5 will bring safety, risk and compliance into an integrated environment that supports fast access for distributed teams, strengthening oversight and operational responsiveness.

“Bristow operates in some of the most demanding flight environments in the world, and a high-performance safety system must make it easier for teams to report, respond and continuously improve,” concludes Karl Steeves, CEO, TrustFlight. “We're proud to support Bristow as it focuses on safety leadership across its global operations, and we value the broader relationship built through our Baines Simmons training programmes that help operators elevate safety performance.”
