“…Aviation research has shown that focusing only on technical capabilities will be insufficient for safety management. Studies conducted in other fields related to this concept have shown similar results with the studies in aviation (6)(7)(8) . For this reason, non-technical skills are an integral part of technical skills.…”

Objectives: This study aims to examine the effects interpersonal skills (leadership and communication) as part of non-technical skills on bridge officers at critical times and bridge watches. Methods/Statistical analysis: A total of 40 questions, out of which 25 questions with 5-point Likert scales, 2 questions with multiple choices, and 13 demographic questions were filled by 400 seafarers via online survey method. Explanatory factor analysis was performed using Varimax, Kaiser Normalization Rotation Method, and Principal Components Analysis to reduce survey's items in low dimensions. Scree plot test, eigenvalues-greater-than-1 rule, explanatory percentage of the total variance, Cronbach's Alpha Coefficient, Split half method Spearman-Brown correlation coefficient were used in factor analysis. Findings: Some dimensions have significant relationships. There is a weak positive statistical correlation between teamwork skills and sharing workload, leadership, personal attitudes, operational safety decision-making, communication. This result supports the hypothesis 1 and hypothesis 2 that there is a relationship between teamwork skills and communication, personal attitudes. So, while the leadership is increasing, personal attitudes, operational safety decisionmaking, communication will be getting better supporting hypothesis 3 which is revealed that there is a relationship between leadership and communication. Finally, it is found that there is a weak positive statistical correlation between operational safety decision-making and communication. Applications: The psychology and non-technical skills of the bridge team and other crew members play an important role in minimizing the occurrence marine accidents. .

There is the opportunity that the DSA model could be adapted for use in similar monitoring and intervention positions that require high levels of SA where operators continually attend to displays and the environment to build up an understanding of the situation and take decisions based on anticipated outcomes.…”

The role of probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) has been supplementary and riskinformed applications based on the insight from PSA have also been utilized limitedly in the licensing process for nuclear power plants (NPPs) in South Korea. However, as the technical significance of PSA is getting increased, PSA has become a mandatory part of Safety Analysis Reports and Periodic Safety Review. It is worthwhile to highlight the role of emerging instrumentation and control (I&C) technologies including human-machine interface (HMI) in developing more credible and realistic PSA models. Particularly, it is expected that the information technology (i.e., software) embedded in digital I&C can adjust over-and under conservatism in analyzing risk. In this study, authors proposed the cases which would be able to significantly reduce risk if advanced I&C supported by information technologies is applied. In regard, the several enabling techniques and their effects are proposed. In order to improve the commercial competitiveness of NPPs, the need of collaboration and synergetic outcome of I&C, HMI, and PSA should be emphasized.
