Aviation standard human element safety training initiative with CAE

It is reported, that more than 80% of maritime accidents are due to human error, risking life, ship damage and costing the maritime industry millions of dollars. A unique initiative by the UK Club, in partnership with the world's largest aviation training company, offers and encourages a step change in crew training and safety outcomes. Introduced by the Club's Loss Prevention team in September 2019 to boost Member access to top-class safety training, the interactive human element safety initiative - in collaboration with global aviation leader CAE - now brings aviation and maritime together to provide members with exceptional human factor learning and instruction. At no cost.

CAE are leaders in the manufacture of flight simulators and aviation training, both technical and human element. Over five days in a classroom setting, members manage the human element at aviation training standards exploring leadership styles, decision making, problem-solving, delegation and error management in everyday situations. 

The course is designed especially for senior crew training officers, HSQE/HSSE managers, and DPAs. It makes available CAE's comprehensive MCRM learning materials and 'Train the Trainer' support.

Director of Loss Prevention at UK P&I Club, Stuart Edmonston: "The human element regularly features in maritime incidents handled at the Club and we're pleased to offer our members aviation's approach to safety, problem-solving and communication, reflected in CAE's Maritime Crew Resource Management (MCRM) learning programme."

As the global leader in aviation training, our mission is to enhance safety, efficiency and readiness,'' said Nick Wilcox, CAE Business Leader Maritime Training. "UK P&I Club promotes best practice and innovation in the maritime industry, and CAE is delighted to be partnering with an organization that shares similar values.
