Safety -factors

The safety of passengers and crew, ship and cargo is determined by both internal and external factors, but most of all by the Human Factor.

The internal factors (I.F.) that may influence safety are: the ship’s dimensions and draft, her rudder, propulsion system and navigation instruments.

The external factors (E.F.) are formed by weather conditions, currents and tides, characteristics of fairways and unforeseen events. In documents the term “Act of God” indicates that the shipowner will not be held responsible for damage caused by natural disasters.

Good seamanship refers to The Human Factor (H.F.) and depends on the quality of the seafarers on board. And because most vessels have been manned with multi-lingual crews, special attention should be paid to the introduction of the internationally standardizes form of maritime communication on every ship in the world.

Types of human errors:

• active failures are failures that form direct causes of accidents and disasters,

• latent failures are failures that create conditions for active failures.

Causes of latent failures

Factors that relate to causes of latent failures are:

1. Procedures and regulations – are clear procedures and regulations available and applied for routine shipboard tasks?

2. Design and arrangement – is the vessel and her equipment suited for the job?

3. Maintenance – is regular and effective maintenance performed (“general quality of the ship”)?

4. On-board organization – hierarchy of personnel, pre-arrival/-departure meetings, inter activeness, etc.

5. Communication

6. Training

7. Error-enforcing circumstances – factors that provoke the making of mistakes and errors, e.g. pressure of time, fatigue, working conditions, culture gap, etc.

8. Incompatible goals – conflicts of safety and productivity, differences between on-board and shore procedures, high demands, etc.

9. Defences - protection and measures (precautions) to prevent and/or control hazards.

10. Crew’s negligence.
