Megan Barnes, President of Paragon Aviation Group says, “As an elite group of the best independent FBOs in the world, safety is far more than a buzzword for a Paragon member FBO. The Paragon Network’s emphasis on safety is an investment in our members’ success, and the consistent, safe handling of customers and their assets when visiting a Paragon FBO location. As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, there has been a reduction in travel which has forced many businesses to reduce overhead to compensate. I wanted to make sure that our members would have the support they needed to not only remain in compliance, but ensure their teams’ monthly and annual training requirements were met. As our network continues to grow, we’re pleased to have partnered with FBO Partners and their comprehensive OSO Program.”
“The safety initiative by Paragon Aviation Group and partnership with FBO Partners through the OSO Program, cements our leadership in advancing safety within the FBO industry and offering a complete solution for like-minded FBOs to compete on a level playing field with any FBO in the industry,” adds Barnes.
FBO Partners Senior Associate Patrick Moylan, who leads the Online Safety Officer Program, notes “The OSO program is unlike anything in the industry today. Often, the biggest barrier to creating a strong safety culture is consistent communication and promotion. For most FBOs that barrier is in the form of time, which OSO gives back to its subscribers by providing a complete, turn-key solution to those challenges.”
Moylan, who joined FBO Partners in 2019, is a Certified Safety Professional (CSP), IS-BAH Auditor, and OSHA Trainer.
