Management (CRM) training. Since CRM is essentially
error management training for operational personnel, data
from LOSA form the basis for contemporary CRM training
refocus and/or design known as Threat and Error Management
(TEM) training. Data from LOSA also provide a
real-time picture of system operations that can guide
organizational strategies in regard to safety, training and
operations. A particular strength of LOSA is that it identifies
examples of superior performance that can be reinforced and
used as models for training. In this way, training interventions
can be reshaped and reinforced based on successful
performance, that is to say, positive feedback. This is indeed
a first in aviation, since the industry has traditionally
collected information on failed human performance, such as
in accidents and incidents. Data collected through LOSA are
proactive and can be immediately used to prevent adverse
events. |
