This Award is in the form of a traveling expenses bursary to enable participant to develop flight safety expertise.

Captain Mike Griffin, C.Eng, MRAeS was one of the early members of the UK Flight Safety Committee, representing Bristow Helicopters as their Group Flight Safety Officer. He was the UKFSC Chairman between 1988 and 1992 during which time the Committee was suddenly forced to change its management structure following the sudden departure of the then secretary. Mike guided the Committee with great sensitivity and determination during this period and helped establish the Committee in its current format. As such, he is regarded as one of the founding fathers of modern safety management. Sadly, Mike passed away in 1997 and we, his successors, are proud to recognise his legacy in the naming of this award.
