Aviation insurer USAIG has added Polaris Aero to its Performance Vector safety initiative, which allows policyholders with turbine aircraft to select one program option annually to enhance knowledge of human factors and safety. With the addition of Polaris Aero, one of those options now includes Vocus, Polaris’s cloud-based “safety intelligence platform” that streamlines the input, processing, and sharing of critical safety-related information via a secure and scalable platform.
USAIG will contribute up to $2,500 toward Polaris Aero Vocus subscription costs for policyholders choosing this option. Vocus applications include a safety management system (SMS) that facilitates compliance with ICAO standards and recommended practices; a risk-assessment system that automatically identifies the hazards and risk mitigation procedures most relevant to a flight; and an online training program that provides initial and recurrent training for employees on SMS principles.
“Many of our policyholders have told us Polaris Aero’s applications fit superbly and drive meaningful advances in their safety initiatives,” said USAIG president and CEO John Brogan. “We’re proud to establish this connection between Vocus platform services and our policyholders that can best use these advanced tools, and to share some of the expense for those who choose this option for their annual benefit.”
