Team resource management trainer's manual for the atomic vapor laser isotope separation program

Abstract

High reliability organizations do exist. They have been defined as those organizations that conduct thousands of high-consequence operations a year, essentially error-free. Naval air carriers, air traffic control, and commercial aviation are some of these kinds of organizations. How did they get that way? What kinds of people staff them? Can we become a high reliability organization? This workshop will look at these questions. When we are done, it will be up to you to determine whether we have the right stuff. There are six goals for this workshop: Describe Team Resource Management and its purpose; Describe Performance Shaping Factors (PSFs) and their role in predicting and managing team performance and errors; Describe the principles for managing human error; Describe TRM�s 12 rules-of-thumb (the �Dirty Dozen�) and use of safety nets; Conduct Operational Risk Management (ORM); Demonstrate ways to keep TRM working
