Informed managers in such sectors have realised the necessity of understanding the human dimension to their operations if they hope to improve production & safety performance. While organisational safety culture is a key determinant of workplace safety it is also essential to focus on the non-technical skills of the system operators based at the 'sharp end' of the organisation. These skills are the cognitive & social skills required for efficient & safe operations often termed Crew Resource Management (CRM) skills. In industries such as civil aviation it has long been appreciated that the majority of accidents could have been prevented if better non-technical skills had been demonstrated by personnel operating & maintaining the system.
