Human Factors in Ship Design and Operation
25-26th February 2009, RINA HQ, London, UK
Call for papers and First Notice
The work of naval architects and marine engineers directly influences
the operability and safety of the vessel and the wellbeing of the
seafarer. Design decisions can influence human behaviour. An
improved understanding of ergonomics by engineers can ‘design
out’ hazards and prevent pollution incidents. The shortage of
seafarers can be mitigated by design for improved habitability and
better operation with lean manning
With ever more complex systems and technology greater
improvements in safety can be achieved through a better
understanding of human/system dynamics. A greater awareness of
the role played by management structures, culture, procedures and
regulation in safe and effective operation.
This conference aims to bring together international specialists
and professionals including designers, ship operators, seafarers,
equipment manufacturers and regulators to highlight how an
improved understanding of human factors can reduced costs and
improve safety. RINA invites papers in all related topics including:
•Integration of human factors into the design process
•Examples of practical applications of human factors engineering
•Feedback from the users into the design loop
•Survivability, escape and evacuation systems
•Design of navigation & control systems
•Maritime operating organisations and teamwork
•Safety performance and management
•Design for occupational heath and safety
•Habitability
