3. RESPONSE TO ERRORS
Type 1 – Prevent
Type 2 – minimize the probability
Type 3 – train to recognize, avoid,
minimize the consequences
4. MEANS AND METHODS OF
BREAKING THE ERROR CHAIN
Make use of the voyage planning and navigational systems which
allows continuous monitoring and detection of deviation from track
when in coastal waters.
5. STRESS MANAGEMENT
The joint IMO/ILO working group examining
the subject concluded: ‘Fatigue can be
induced by prolonged periods of mental and
physical activity, inadequate rest, adverse
environmental factors and physiological
stress or other psychological factors.’
6. TYPICAL GUIDANCE MIGHT BE GIVEN AS FOLLOWS:
The officer required to take the first navigational
watch after sailing must have adequate rest prior
to sailing.
When it is possible to vary watch times
during passage.
7. TYPICAL GUIDANCE MIGHT BE GIVEN AS FOLLOWS:
A change of programmed may be used, in suitable
circumstances, to ensure key officers have
sufficient rest.
9. 2. CULTURALAWARENESS
BY THE END OF THIS
LESSON YOU WILL BE ABLE
TO:
•Explain the need for cultural
awareness
•Explain five ways of
classifying national culture
•Explain what you can do –
the cultural wheel
14. NOTE
Individuals in different cultures
can have more in common than
individuals in the same culture.
Asians can be westernized;
Americans can be quite. So
keep an open mind and don’t
stereotype people, they’ll
probably surprise you.
15. 5 WAYS OF CLASSIFYING CULTURE
Group or Individual
Power Distance
Uncertainty
Avoidance
Masculine or
Feminine
Short or Long Term
Planning
18. 2. POWER DISTANCE
Small Power
Distance
•It is accepted that
everyone is equal
•Expect to be
consulted
Large Power
Distance
•Expect to be told
what to do
•It is accepted
that not
everyone is
equal
19. 3. UNCERTAINTYAVOIDANCE
Low Uncertainty
Avoidance
•Precision and
being on time must
be learned
•Accepts change
•Accepts different
and new ideas and
behavior
High Uncertainty
Avoidance
•Precision and
being on time are
normal
•Resists change
•Rejects different
and new ideas and
behavior
23. INCREASE CULTURALAWARENESS ON
BOARDSHIP
Respect other people’s culture without
respect good communication will not
even start
Learn what motivates people as individuals
and as members of their culture. They
have reasons for their behavior.
24. INCREASE CULTURALAWARENESS ON
BOARDSHIP
Interpreter - You may need a cultural
interpreter. Somebody familiar with the culture
who can act as a link between two cultures.
Explain your actions and give clear messages
in simple language. Check understanding.
25. INCREASE CULTURALAWARENESS ON
BOARDSHIP
Procedures - check understanding. Use written
checklist as it can reduce misunderstandings.
Consistent – keep a consistent approach to
attitude. Cultural communication is two-way. If a
receiver can understand your culture this can
bring you both closer to each other
26. INCREASE CULTURALAWARENESS ON
BOARDSHIP
Name - use a person’s name. This helps
communication in most, if not all cultures.
Understanding - work at increasing your
understanding of culture.
27. THE DON‘TS ABOUT CULTURALAWARENESS
Don’t stereotype people - individual
variation is very wide
Don’t assume people have your values
Don’t offend people - there are cultural,
religious and body language rules that
will offend certain cultures
29. EMERGENCY PROCEDURE DEVELOPMENT
We define emergency in BRM as a life threatening situation
where immediate attention is needed. Leadership is the ability for oneself
to take full control of the situation and to make the necessary decisions
appropriate in an emergency. The master will of course always be in
charge of the vessel.
30. THE EXPECTED RESPONSE OF THE
BRIDGE TEAM DURING EMERGENCY
THE MASTER SHALL:
Demonstrate the ability to move an
emergency from the unanticipated, fast
reaction type toward the anticipated, slow
reaction type.
31. THE EXPECTED RESPONSE OF THE
BRIDGE TEAM DURING EMERGENCY
Take the leadership in solving a problem by
using all available resources. The master
should resist the temptation to step in and
do it all by himself.
32. THE EXPECTED RESPONSE OF THE BRIDGE TEAM
DURING EMERGENCY
THE MASTER SHALL:
Demonstrate the ability to identify
situations where he/she should be in
physical control of the ship compared to
those where he/she should delegate control
to a bridge team member.
33. THE EXPECTED RESPONSE OF THE BRIDGE TEAM
DURING EMERGENCY
With a pilot on board delegate certain tasks to the pilot in an
orderly manner.
34. THE PILOT SHALL:
Demonstrate the ability to move an
emergency from the unanticipated, fast
reaction type toward the anticipated, slow
reaction type.
Take the leadership in solving a problem by
using all available resources. Resist the
temptation to step in and do everything
himself.
35. THE PILOT SHALL:
Demonstrate the ability to identify situations
where he/she should be in physical control of
the ship compared to those where he/she
should delegate control to a bridge team
member.
36. THE BRIDGE TEAM MEMBER SHALL:
As far as that primary duty permits participated
in the problem solution.
If the master does not or cannot take the
leadership, take action to start the process, but
do it diplomatically.
37. THE BRIDGE TEAM MEMBER SHALL:
Allow the master to resume control of the
situation when he/she is able or the emergency
is over.
Closely monitor the management functions being
used and replace those found to be missing.
38. KEY CONSIDERATIONS MUST BE:
Appropriate remedial action taken and
verified as soon as possible.
Notification of all those who need to know of the
failure.
The external signs and signals and action
required.
39. KEY CONSIDERATIONS MUST BE:
Essential checks to be carried out prior to
changeover.
Sequences to be followed if a remote control
station has to be used.
Checks to be carried out on completion.
