Forestry operations can encompass working on steep ground, felling trees, operating a range of forestry machinery, aerial tree work and planting. Due to the range of hazards present within the forestry environment, and a persistent record of fatalities and injuries each year, forestry is considered a high-risk industry. The industrial partner for this project, Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS), emphasise the dangers of forestry work and are keen to explore methods of enhancing safety for forestry workers. Within other high-risk industries such as aviation and agriculture there has been a focus on non-technical skills, the cognitive and social skills required for safe and effective work performance. However, there has not been any research examining these skills within forestry. The proposed PhD project will aim to develop a non-technical skill behavioural marker system for forestry workers, in addition to exploring the factors that may enhance or adversely impact non-technical skill performance. The project will produce evidence-based guidance for future training interventions designed to support non-technical skills, enhance safety and reduce the current fatality and injury rate of forestry workers in the UK.PhD project aims:1. Develop a behavioural marker system for forestry worker non-technical skills.2. Evaluate factors that may influence forestry worker non-technical skill performance.3. Develop appropriate training guidance to support the development of non-technical skills within the forestry context. Phase one of the proposed research will focus on the development of a forestry worker non-technical skills taxonomy via interviews, facilitated discussion groups and a modified Delphi study. Phase two will comprise an online survey and observational study to identify influencing factors and the extent to which these vary across non-technical skills. Finally, there will be a practical development phase which will collate the research findings to produce a behavioural markers system, information leaflets and podcasts, plus a training toolkit.

林业作业可以包括在陡峭的地面上工作、砍伐树木、操作一系列林业机械、空中树木作业和种植。由于林业环境中存在的各种危害，以及每年持续存在的伤亡记录，林业被认为是一个高风险行业。该项目的工业合作伙伴苏格兰林业和土地公司(FLS)强调林业工作的危险，并热衷于探索提高林业工人安全的方法。在航空和农业等其他高风险行业中，重点是非技术技能，即安全和有效工作所需的认知和社交技能。然而，还没有任何研究对林业中的这些技能进行检验。拟议的博士项目将旨在为林业工人开发一个非技术技能行为标记系统，此外还将探索可能提高或不利影响非技术技能表现的因素。该项目将为未来的培训干预措施提供循证指导，旨在支持英国林业工人的非技术技能，加强安全，降低目前的死亡率和伤害率。博士项目的目标是：1.开发林业工人非技术技能的行为标记系统。评价可能影响林业职工非技术技能表现的因素。制定适当的培训指导，以支持在林业背景下发展非技术技能。拟议研究的第一阶段将侧重于通过访谈、促进讨论小组和修改后的德尔福研究来制定林业工人的非技术技能分类。第二阶段将包括在线调查和观察性研究，以确定影响因素以及这些因素在非技术技能中的差异程度。最后，将有一个实际发展阶段，该阶段将整理研究结果，以制作一个行为标记系统、信息传单和播客，以及一个培训工具包。
