One way for the human element to make an impact on a large scale is through the inclusion of ergonomic design requirements in Classification Rules and Regulations. Class provides a means, with corresponding verification, to make far-reaching ergonomic improvements, benefiting a large number of seafarers. A consideration of ergonomics in ship design will help to enhance operational safety, reduce the risk of error and improve efficiencies and situational awareness.
