About SAFE Original Name: Space
and Flight Equipment Association - 1956 Goals and Objectives: The SAFE Association is dedicated to the preservation of human life. It provides a common meeting ground for the sharing of problems, ideas and information. SAFE, a non-profit professional association headquartered in Oregon, maintains chapters throughout the world. It boasts an international group of members. Membership is not restricted by academic background, experience or specialty. SAFE members represent the fields of engineering, psychology, medicine, physiology, management, education, industrial safety, survival training, fire and rescue, human factors, equipment design, and the many sub-fields associated with the design and operation of aircraft, automobiles, buses, trucks, trains, spacecraft, and watercraft. Individual and corporate members include equipment manufacturers, college professors, and students, airline flight attendants, government officials, pilots and military life support specialists. This broad representation provides a unique meeting ground for basic and applied scientists, the design engineer, the government representative, the training specialist and the ultimate user/operator to discuss and solve problems in safety and survival. Few professional associations can make these claims. SAFE’s regional chapters sponsor meetings and workshops that provide an exchange of ideas, information on member’s activities, and presentations of new equipment and procedures encompassing governmental, private, and commercial application in the field of safety and survival. SAFE publishes a Journal, Newsletter and the Proceedings of the Annual SAFE Symposium. These publications are valuable reference sources for the professional involved in safety and survival. SAFE culminates each year’s activities with the annual SAFE Symposium. Presentation topics range from desert survival to the latest aircraft passenger egress aids, cockpit design, restraint systems, and school bus design to international symbols related to transportation and safety, and crew training. The Symposium is attended by an international group of professionals who are there to share problems and solutions in the field of safety and survival. SAFE recognizes individual achievements and outstanding contributions in the fields of safety and survival. One of the highlights of the annual SAFE Symposium is the presentation of several SAFE Awards to deserving individuals. SAFE’s formal statement of purpose reads: “The primary objective of the SAFE Association is to stimulate research and development in the fields of safety and survival, and to disseminate pertinent information to concerned individuals in government and industry. In addition, the objective is to establish and maintain a meaningful relationship between the SAFE Association and the scientific communities related to safety and survival |
