Aims to develop a behavioural marker system based on the UK FRS non-technical skills (termed command skills) identified by his earlier research. With the support of the Chief Fire Officers’ Association, a group of subject matter experts will:

• Determine a suitable means to rate the performance of command skills by incident commanders during training simulations
• Identify a range of positive and negative behaviours associated with each command skill to develop a behavioural marker system
• Conduct a preliminary evaluation the behavioural marker system to ensure inter-rater reliability between independent raters is consistent and highly correlates.
