PhD Studentship: Undertaking and Activating Transfer of Non-Technical Skills Safety Training to Workers in the Offshore Windfarm Sector - Loughborough, United Kingdom - University of Hull
Description
Join us to tackle some of the biggest research challenges, in a supportive environment where you can grow your own career while you help grow the offshore wind industry.
Safety training is widely acknowledged as an effective way of improving safety at work. Whilst attention has been paid to the technical skills in safety training in the offshore windfarm sector (e.g., offshore wind service technicians, site manager and supervisors, project engineers), little attention has been paid to non-technical skills such as communication and decision-making skills which are equally important in maintaining the safety of technical workers. For example, good communication skills determine how effectively technical workers communicate about safety with their supervisors and peers, raise concerns about safety. Similarly, effectual decision-making can minimise accidents are that are typically caused by poor judgement of risk and unrealistic risk assessment and hazard analysis. Specifically, when technical safety training is delivered to technical workers, it is not clear how non-technical skills are also delivered and how these skills are transferred to the job by the trained worker.
Training transfer refers to the extent to which trained workers apply the skills and knowledge acquired during training once they return to the work setting. As around 40% of trained workers fail to transfer their learning to behaviours immediately after training, training transfer may be an important explanatory mechanism for changes in training outcomes.
This project will identify mechanisms of the transfer of two non-technical skills: communication and decision making and will then design and test the mechanisms of skills transfer to the technical workers' job. The project will also examine how these skills are maintained over time.
Training and Skills
You will benefit from a taught programme, giving you a broad understanding of the breadth and depth of current and emerging offshore wind sector needs. This begins with an intensive six-month programme at the University of Hull for the new student, drawing on the expertise and facilities of our academic partners. It is supplemented by Continuing Professional Development (CPD), which is embedded throughout your 4-year research scholarship.
