Our Search and Rescue workshop takes an interactive approach to Human Factors in complex and time-critical operations for ashore and onboard personnel. Participants explore operational challenges, identify contributing factors, and develop practical strategies that can help reduce the risk of accidents at sea.
The workshop is tailored to your operation and can be delivered as a half-day or full-day session, depending on the challenges you want to explore and the time your team has available.
The workshop focuses on key Human Factors principles relevant to search and rescue operations, including situational awareness, communication, decision-making, leadership, teamwork, workload and performance under pressure.
During the workshop, participants identify communication barriers, individual limitations and system vulnerabilities that may compromise safety on board. They then develop practical strategies to make operations more resilient and error-tolerant.
We design the workshop for smaller groups of 8 to 20 participants. It is ideal for bringing together shore-based and onboard personnel to build a shared understanding across roles and functions.
Our experienced Human Factors trainers work closely with you to create a bespoke Search and Rescue workshop, built around your operational needs and any particular challenges or focus areas you have identified.
The goal is to give your team practical tools to reduce risk, strengthen coordination and support effective performance during complex and time-critical operations.
Typical topics can include:
When booking a workshop for your search and rescue operation at NaviMinds, you will receive a bespoke programme customised to suit you and your organisation’s needs.
We include curated materials for your SAR organisation that will help you introduce the topic of Human Factors.
Before the workshop, we talk through your operation’s specific needs – the challenges and risks your workforce is facing – and build the content around what matters to your team.
Our Human Factors trainers have spent years developing exercises and games that show, in practice, that human error is a normal part of being human.
During the SAR workshop, participants share stories, compare ideas, and work through human factors challenges together, with expert facilitator support throughout.
We have gathered the most frequently asked questions from our customers to help you in the best way possible.
Human Factors training helps Search and Rescue teams understand how communication breakdowns, decision-making errors, poor teamwork and stress can affect safety and performance. Human Factors training for SAR operations therefore focuses on identifying and addressing these factors and developing practical strategies to manage them, helping teams work more safely and effectively during complex and time-critical operations.
Our SAR workshop can be delivered in-house at your location, or at our training facility in Copenhagen if you’d rather bring your team to us.
We do not offer an online or virtual version – the workshop is built around active participation, and that works best in person.
