The Safety Awareness team creates concise, readable (and sometimes funny) safety lessons to help Sailors, Marines and civilian employees (and their families) avoid repeating a mishap. Our goal is to make people think! We do our best to tell a story that people will remember – that they’ll recall when going through their normal day – that empowers them to identify hazards, accept “ownership” and responsibility for those hazards (in their community, command, and home), and take action.

Effective Bridge Resource Management (BRM) is foundational in safe navigation and mission execution afloat. BRM requires synergy among essential human elements impacting the outcome of safe navigation. Key elements include principles such as communication, assertiveness, situational awareness, decision making, leadership, authority and responsibility, and teamwork. This dispatch aims to examine shared breakdowns in those elements to identify actionable lessons for all mariners and watch teams.
