Argus International implemented several updates to the audit standard that it uses to qualify a charter operator for the Argus Platinum and Gold Plus rating. The additions are intended to create an “even more valuable and informative audit process,” said Argus president and CEO Joe Moeggenberg. The updates include standards that address global safety management system requirements; improved alignment with ICAO standards and recommended practices; lessons learned from thousands of Argus audits; and customizable applications to account for the “varied array of operations and industry segments.”
