The most important element in Wisconsin Aviation's safety program is you, our employee. You are on the front lines of delivering service to our customers and, as such, you are in the best position to recognize and report safety - related events and potentially hazardous situations. To make this easier for you, Wisconsin Aviation has established WBAT, an on-line system available to all employees for reporting safety concerns. The information you provide in these reports will be analyzed by our Safety Action Committee (SAC) to identify the root cause(s) for the issue and implement appropriate remedial actions. This proactive approach will lead to a continuously improving safety environment, which is good for employees, the company, and our customers.

With WBAT you will be able to report, depending on your position, the following:

• A safety incident which has occurred and may or may not have caused injury to an individual or damage to property but still requires analysis by the SAC. (All Positions)
• A potential hazard you have recognized which, if analyzed and acted upon, could prevent future accidents. (All Positions)
• An Aviation Safety Action Report (ASAP).  ASAP is a voluntary, self-reporting program, established in cooperation with the FAA, designed to identify and reduce possible flight safety concerns while offering possible protection from violations, penalties or sanctions. ASAP uses employee input to identify significant safety concerns and issues, operational deficiencies, non-compliance with regulations, deviations from company policies and procedures, and unusual events related to flight operations.  (FAA Certificated Positions; Pilots, Mechanics and Avionics Technicians)

As stated in our Safety Policy below, no employee will ever suffer retaliation from management for submitting a valid report.

"Every employee at Wisconsin Aviation is entitled to a safe and healthful workplace. We will provide the resources and training necessary to maintain this safe and healthful workplace and employ reactive, proactive, and predictive methods to identify and mitigate hazards in the workplace.  All employees will actively participate in the identification and timely reporting through established procedures of identifying potential hazards during the course of their normal operations. Our managers will nurture a positive employee environment encouraging open communication, active participation, and mutual respect in order to achieve and continually improve our level of safety and health performance and will take no disciplinary action against any employee who reports a hazard. All employees will follow safe and healthful work practices, and avoid any behavior which violates safety and health rules and regulations.  Employees will strive to work in a manner which meets or exceeds the highest safety and health standards as established by company, legislative, and regulatory requirements and standards."
