Australian risk management company OneSafe has launched its handheld cloud computing application that offers real-time, live aviation safety information to the resource and mining sector. The risk management and compliance system gives instant updates on aviation risks via portable tablets and phone devices. The system was previously available to airlines. OneSafe director, and former Qantas Group general manager of safety, compliance and operational risk, Ron Bartsch, said the system revolutionises the way the aviation industry meets safety and regulatory obligations
