Reducing Risk Through the Human Element
An online version of this popular course is now available, please see upcoming dates on the right hand side or email Courses@nautinst.org for further information.
The Nautical Institute’s (NI) Reducing Risk through the Human Element course is an interactive course which is delivered daily in sessions of 3 hours 45 minutes, for a period of four days (including breaks). It has been designed to provide mariners with an in-depth overview of how to reduce risks through a focus on the most important physical and psychological aspects of the human, and the interaction of that human in a very specific environment – a vessel at sea. And further, to provide mariners (and their managers) with risk management tools taking into account the realities of human limitations and the implication for delivering consistent, safe and efficient overall performance.
Mariners that understand both the abilities, and limitations of the human body and mind, are better able to achieve risk reduction – both in themselves, as well in their colleagues at sea. Positive improved performance is closely linked to improved safety culture on board – the ultimate aim in any safety program.
