CAVU International’s Vice President of Business Development, Terry Barrett, will take the stage at the Oil & Gas Safety, Health & Environmental 2025 Conference to share a powerful case study on what happens when Human and Organizational Performance (HOP) principles are truly embedded in day-to-day field work.
Is traditional well control training enough to prepare today’s crews for tomorrow’s challenges?
Hazell—a former Royal Air Force squadron commander and Top Gun instructor—shared personal stories from his military aviation career, including a near-death ejection that underscored the life-saving power of simulation-based training. He connected those lessons to the drilling environment, where high pressure, split-second decision-making, and teamwork are just as critical.
CAVU partnered with an offshore client to eliminate life-altering injuries by transforming how teams communicate before, during, and after high-risk work. Through coaching, trust-building, and a focus on Life Saving Rules and Actions, we helped crews identify and mitigate serious hazards in real time.
Leaders who cultivate emotional intelligence are better at coaching, resolving conflict, managing stress, and creating engaged, high-performing teams.
