The Flightline
Where Safety Takes Flight
Digital Systems with Real Results
The Flightline is where safety goes digital - powered by Reliant RM, a secure, cloud-based management platform built on industry frameworks and real-world experience. Designed for organizations that want more than spreadsheets, it turns safety data into clear, actionable insight that drives decisions across every level of your operation.
Reliant RM delivers enterprise-grade power without enterprise-level cost, making digital safety management accessible to small and mid-sized organizations while still robust enough for complex, multi-site operations.
Every critical safety function - training, inspections, incidents, audits, compliance tracking, materials and waste, reporting, and more - lives in one integrated system. Reliant RM users report up to 60% faster incident and CAPA closure, 40% less time on regulatory reporting, and 60% faster audit completions - results that translate directly to stronger compliance and more time in the field. The platform is scalable, secure, and designed to evolve with your program rather than box it in.
Through Black Banner Safety, you don’t just get setup - you get strategy. With decades of experience leading multi-department safety programs and years as a Reliant RM superuser supporting for a top-35 U.S. public-sector organization, Heather Knowles helps teams deploy, optimize, and sustain systems that hold up under pressure - at scale, in the field, and across disciplines.
When you’re ready to take command of your data and your decisions, the Flightline gets you airborne.
