Figure 5.1 illustrates a distinction between conscious competence/other-directed and conscious competence/self-directed. If a safe work practice is self-directed, the employee is considered responsible and self-management intervention is relevant. As detailed elsewhere (Watson and Tharp 1997), the methods and tools of effective self-management are derived from behavioral science research and are perfectly consistent with the principles of behavior-based safety.

A key component developed as part of the VSTL is irrrproved vehicle self-awareness. A number of automated safety arrd health-based behaviors have been implemented to support simple, reliable, safe access to flight testing. Several command and control applications provide an irrterface between the operator and the vehicles. The level of interaction includes remotely piloted, low-level task control and high-level mission management. The mission management apphcation was used to explore opportunities associated with health-based adaptations and obtain some initial information.
