METHODOLOGY FOR ASSESSING THE ADEQUACY OF BEHAVIORAL REACTIONS OF BOATMASTERS WHEN WATCHING

Abstract

The paper considers the main factor of accidents at sea, which can become emergency situations during flights. At the same time, statistics show that most of them are the causes of navigation accidents.

The most common cause of navigation accidents, present in 80% of their number, are driver errors. From this we can conclude what exactly element of the ergatic system "master - ship - environment" is the main risk element of the emergency situation on sea vessels.

Therefore, by predicting and minimizing the negative impact of the human element on the ship's navigation safety, it is possible to reduce the risk of an emergency. The paper highlights a developed methodology that allows not only to predict the impact of the human factor on the navigational safety of the ship and the likelihood of emergencies in navigation, but also to manage the risk of emergencies at sea, to form a set of various technical, organizational and educational measures minimizing this impact. As a point assessment of the human factor, it is proposed to use the stress resistance of the navigator, which is the main determinant of the impact of the human factor on the navigational safety of the vessel.

The article also notes the difference between behavior and reaction, which is the body's response to a situation. At the same time, human behavior, behavioral reactions and stress resistance as an assessment of the human factor are interrelated. Thus, the nature of certain behavioral reactions in different situations may necessarily be an indicator of possible human behavior in this situation and be used to assess the likelihood of negative consequences of this behavior. Thus, based on the presence and nature of the reactions of the watchman's reactions, it is possible to draw a conclusion about his ability to make adequate decision situations and ensure navigational safety of the vessel.

The pilot in the experiment of the article is a pilot who has a working diploma and experience of navigating the watch for at least five years. Before or after the experiment, the level of stress resistance of the driver is determined using a special test.
