Royal NZ Coastguard
Text
It is a safety issue that the Coastguard did not extend the training in the concept of crew resource management to all members of the crew so that the crews could work cohesively as a team to maintain situational awareness, monitor the plan, anticipate dangerous situations, acquire timely information and avoid pre-occupation with minor problems.
It is recommended that the Chief Executive of The Royal New Zealand Coastguard Inc incorporates in its training regime for all crew from the very early stages the concept and use of crew resource management as a means of achieving its goal of optimum safety and efficiency in the operation of its vessels.

Coastguard will develop and implement training from the recruit stage to develop a culture that increases individual‘s appreciation of the personal and team responsibility. This will improve the cohesiveness of the team to maintain situational awareness, monitor the plan, anticipate dangerous situations, acquire timely information and avoid pre-occupation with minor problems.
This will be addressed as part of CRM for all crew members as part of the current Training Development Project to be completed for implementation from July 2011. This will also be applied retrospectively to existing crew.
