Additional research should be conducted to test the NTSOD system’s reliability and usability while being used in the fleet or simulators. This research could support the findings that the NTSOD system accurately assesses the nontechnical skills of OODs. The research could also investigate the effects that the NTSOD system has on the overall performance of OODs.

2. Recommendation 2

The results of the present study should be used to provide a research foundation to Bridge Resource Management (BRM) training so that it more effectively addresses the skills required to safely stand the watch.

3. Recommendation 3

While the OOD is the most important watch station onboard surface ships, there are many other important positions such as Tactical Action Officer (TAO) and Engineering Officer of the Watch (EOOW). Similar watches also exist on submarines and merchant marine shipping. The methods described in this thesis should be used to develop behavioral marker systems for addressing the nontechnical skills of those watch stations as well.

C. CONCLUSION

Hetherington et al (2006) stated that there are many gaps in the maritime human factors literature. The NTSOD taxonomy is a step towards filling these gaps. Although further research is required to establish the reliability and validity of the NTSOD taxonomy, it is one of the first research-based behavioral marker systems developed for use in a maritime environment.

Human error can never be eliminated. However, identifying, training, and giving feedback on the nontechnical skills that are required for safe and effective performance will ensure that sailors have the appropriate skills for minimizing, detecting, and mitigating error before it leads to an accident.
