Abstract

Analysis of the accident investigations indicated that the third or fourth reason for the accidents was communication concerns. The causes were, for example, “I wish I had said a word,” “I should have talked to you before I did something,” etc. To overcome these human factors regarding communication, the implementation of non-technical skill education is required. Bias often leads to misjudgments when receiving and understanding information. Setting the goal as “knowing yourself leads to decrease of accidents,” I developed a questionnaire method that measures the person’s degree of bias. By increasing awareness of bias, I thought that the number of accidents would decrease, so I constructed this new education program.
