Human Factors Training The Dirty Dozen

What can effect me at work ???

The Dirty Dozen Fatigue Pilot died after low level flying for 8 hrs that day. He was hearding sheep

May 8, 2006 a B1-B Lancer made a gear up landing at Diego Garcia skidding 7,500 ft down the runway. The aircraft was landing at the end of a 11 hour ferry flight from Guam During landing it caught flames and emergency crews had to extingust the flames The crew escaped and the investigation concluded the pilots forgot to put the gear down

The USAF claimed damage to the aircraft at 7 The USAF claimed damage to the aircraft at 7.9 million dollars and $14,025 to the runway

Fatigue degrades every aspect of performance resulting in : Slowed reaction time Impaired judgment Higher error rate Poor decision making ability Poor coordination

The two crew members on Corporate Airlines Flight 5966 were joking with each other before it crashed.They were discussing food and other coworkers. They ignored guidance about when and at what speed to descend the plane on its path to the runway, joking and cursing at one another while the plane's warning system alerted them of the rapidly approaching ground below

11 crew and 13 passengers died The pair were trying to land their sixth flight of the day after more than 14 hours on the job, Oct. 19, 2004, the crash was blamed on the crew's failure to follow proper procedures in preparation to land the plane 11 crew and 13 passengers died

Shift work puts you at a greater risk for fatigue Overtime gives better wages but puts a worker at high risk for fatigue

Things to fight fatigue Should eat properly Ask others to check your work Avoid complicated tasks when you are too tired Get the sleep you need

Stress Stress-- is any outside force or event that has an effect on our body or mind. Sky diving clubs first flight of the year The pilot survived

Stress can be caused by trouble at home Or at work Or at play

Do we make our own pressure??? We feel pressure when we are asked to do something we feel we can’t do due to lack of resources, like time or tools Do we make our own pressure???

We need the aircraft by 6pm !!!!!! YES- you take on all the responsibility NO-insubordination, confrontation

Buy yourself sometime: Let me check the workload and I’ll get back to you Get the other person involved: We don’t have the manpower to get it ready by 6pm . Do you still want us to try even if it is late

Assertivness Do not let someone force you into a situation that you feel is unsafe

Lack of awareness Not taking into consideration all things when problem solving Putting a fire extingusher where someone will hit their head,is not thinking ahead

Lack of Resources When you don’t have the proper parts don’t feel pressured to make it work.

Lack of Knowledge Don’t work on something if you do not have the training Not having up to date manuals can be a huge problem

Lack of teamwork

When all involved are not working toward a common goal it can be very frustrating But everyones job gets easier if everyone works together

Norms That’s OK it is always like that

Complacency Just because it was checked 100 times does not mean somthing may be found on the 101st.

Distraction Don’t allow outside forces to take your focus on the job

Lack of communication Hey take off the right engine He said right........ I’ll get the tools Did he say right or left??

Dirty Dozen projects Slide show / video/ poster board Work individually or Groups of two Pick a dirty dozen topic Think the 5 w’s Definitions Case studies- at least one aviation How has it effected you 6 minutes per person or 10 min for two people one slide to include safety nets from DD posters
