What's a helmet fire?
To a naval aviator, it's a term that describes an over-clocked mental state. This is usually caused by: a lot of things going on (all at once); multiple decisions that need to be made (right now!); and having very little time to sort out competing priorities... before something gets bent or broken... or someone gets hurt (or worse).
Why name a company Helmet Fire?
Helmet Fire, Inc. was founded in 2000 by a former navy instructor pilot interested in: the types and kinds of things that can lead to "helmet fires"; the things that can be done to prevent them; and most importantly, what can be done to help resolve them once they occur.
What we do:
Helmet Fire provides hazard-identification systems that include:
- Data collection tools
- Independent data analysis and reporting services
- Managed feedback mechanisms
What we focus on:
We're all about prevention (not just post mortems). Our systems:
- Identify hazards (before they become accidents, incidents or mishaps)
- Provide plain language action items (not just trends and statistics)
- Excel at information sharing (in a non-threatening, non-jeopardy manner)
Why use us?
We accommodate users (not the other way around). Our systems are:
- Fast (physician reporting times averaged < 02:30 minutes per session)
- Anonymous (no sign-ins, no card swipes, no network tracking)
- Fast (aviator reporting times averaged < 04:30 minutes per session)
- Fully supported (no in-house analysis duties, no in-house IT requirements)
- Fast (participants receive feedback before an issue is forgotten... or lost)
Our approach:
We're not about collecting data for data's sake:
- We are vested in seeing your program succeed (and we work to make it work)
- We advocate for frontline personnel (and endeavor to keep them engaged)
- We're very much a unit-level tool ("enterprise-wide" emphasis is secondary)
- We're comment-centric (much of what we provide is qualitative vs. quantitative)
- We've been called "honest brokers" (unfailing polite, but always on-point)
All of our systems strive to prevent the following:
