Non-technical skills in rail accidents: panacea or pariah?
Non-technical skills in rail accidents: panacea or pariah?
Non-technical skills (NTS) have been identified as a causal factor in several rail accident investigations, resulting in a substantial movement within the UK rail industry to incorporate NTS training into its competence management systems. However, there are questions regarding the application of NTS within the wider sociotechnical systems perspective of human factors. In this paper, we review the evolution of NTS, present case studies of accident investigations, and offer our own perspectives on investigating the role of NTS in accidents.

Abstract
Non-technical skills (NTS) have been identified as a causal factor in several rail accident investigations, resulting in a substantial movement within the UK rail industry to incorporate NTS training into its competence management systems. However, there are questions regarding the application of NTS within the wider sociotechnical systems perspective of human factors. In this paper, we review the evolution of NTS, present case studies of accident investigations, and offer our own perspectives on investigating the role of NTS in accidents.
