Ships are hazardous working environments in which inadequate access and egress arrangements are a leading cause of injuries and fatalities [1]. There is growing awareness that ship design needs to consider the Human Element to mitigate risks to crew safety and Class Rules can contribute. This paper outlines the development of ergonomics guidance for safe access and egress. It provides a background to the current regulatory environment and demonstrates the need for improved guidance on access and egress in the maritime industry. It outlines the development process including a technical justification of the scope, key criteria and application of ergonomics guidance for improved seafarer safety. It concludes with a critical analysis of the development process and a brief discussion on the challenges facing rules ergonomists [2]. |
