Crew Resource Management

Anyone familiar with or part of the Crew Resource Management program for railroads?

Evidently this originated in the plane cockpits and has migrated to the fire fighting and medical fields. It looks like Australia has adopted it for their railroads.

Basically it involves training how crews should deal with decision making, communicating and working with each other, especially during safety critical operations. Apparently this grew out of an accident where a passenger jets crew was distracted by a mechanical issue and failed to realize they were running out of fuel. (Gravity won that one.)

The reason I ask, now that the NTSB has beat us into the ground with PTC they are now pushing Crew Resource Management as the reason for human error in railroad accidents. Since we will all probably get this shoved down our throats soon, what is it - and does it have a real safety related value?
