Team Resource Management has been developed from the Aviation industry's concepts and practices of Crew Resource Management - a radical change in culture and behaviours for Airlines following several high profile accidents 40 years ago and since: [see google or wikipedia - "Tenerife Airport Disaster" and "Kegworth Air Disaster" for the most high profile examples of how a series of misconceptions and poor decisions quickly lead to fatal outcomes.]So TRM is evolving to reduce risks of HUMAN ERROR in safety critical sectors like HEALTHCARE, RAIL, AIR TRAFIC CONTROL, where purely technical faults are now rare. TRM Training Ltd focuses on NON-TECHNICAL and TEAM SKILLS to reduce errors, and improve outcomes.
