Quantitative Evaluation of Consciousness Improvement in BRM Training

In the aviation world, the introduction of Cockpit Resource Management (CRM) has been said to be the success in preventing human errors ever attained in the 20th century. Human error is very likely to be made, and it is impossible to eliminate every error. CRM was introduced from the awareness that human beings are always prone to making errors, and by developing the idea that any possible error chain should be cut before the human error caused the accident. In the shipping world, especially in Japan, the accident involving “Diamond Grace,” which was stranded west of Nakanose in Tokyo Bay in 1998, motivated the study of a Bridge Resource Management (BRM) training program following the model of the CRM concept. However, it is still underway and will probably take much more time for BRM to become a dependable system in the shipping world and become firmly established. This paper, while collaborating with CRM experts, studies how to organize a BRM training program to apply the system in the shipping world. The paper also reports on the process of planning the BRM Basic Course for introduction to beginners and on the results obtained from a quantitative analysis of the effects of such planning.
