Survival and Flight Equipment Association—United Kingdom Chapter

In 1982, the formation of a chapter of SAFE in the United Kingdom was prompted by an increasing UK participation in the annual symposium held in the United States and the growing number of British members of the association. The SAFE symposium has become the main forum for the discussion of aviation safety and man‐related sub‐systems such as oxygen equipment, flight clothing and chemical defence. The UK chapter of SAFE provides the year‐round benefits of being a member of the association and it has been decided to open the membership to anyone who could not visit the symposium in the USA and who did not wish to join the main American society.
