Members of the United States Helicopter Safety Team (USHST) will be providing their safety advice for Heli-Expo participants in Anaheim, California, at 21 different workshops on a wide variety of topics. Many of the topics link to proposed safety enhancements that the USHST is supporting.

The USHST promotes safety and works to reduce accidents through a government and industry cooperative effort that has resulted in a decrease in U.S. civil helicopter accidents since the organization’s inception in 2013.
