Creating a Human Factor Management System (HFMS) for oil and chemical tankers in the maritime industry involves a structured approach to integrate human factor considerations into all operational aspects. Here’s a summary of the steps Elite Life Labs follow to help create a Human Factor or Human Element management system.

1. Establish the Foundation:

• Objective and Scope: Define the HFMS objectives to enhance safety, efficiency, and crew well-being across all tanker operations. Scope should cover all operational areas.
• Compliance and Standards: Ensure alignment with international regulations like STCW, ISM Code, MARPOL, and SOLAS.

2. Management Commitment:

• Leadership Support: Obtain senior management commitment to prioritize human factors, allocate resources, and foster a safety culture.
• Policy Development: Create a clear human factor policy outlining responsibilities and commitments.

3. Risk Assessment and Hazard Identification:

• Hazard Analysis: Identify human factors-related hazards and conduct risk assessments.
• Risk Mitigation: Develop strategies to mitigate risks, enhancing safety and operational resilience.

4. Recruitment and Competency Management:

• Competence Framework: Define required skills, knowledge, and attitudes for crew roles.
• Selection Process: Implement robust recruitment procedures to hire qualified personnel.

5. Training and Development:

• Initial Training: Provide comprehensive training covering technical skills, safety protocols, and human factor awareness.
• Continuous Learning: Offer ongoing training and updates on regulations and best practices.

6. Safety Management System (SMS):

• Integration: Integrate HFMS into the Safety Management System as per ISM Code requirements.
• Safety Procedures: Document procedures considering human factors like fatigue management and emergency response.

7. Health and Well-being Programs:

• Health Monitoring: Regular health checks to ensure crew fitness.
• Mental Health Support: Provide access to resources for stress management and mental health.

8. Performance Monitoring and Feedback:

• Reviews: Evaluate crew performance focusing on technical skills and adherence to human factor principles.
• Feedback Mechanisms: Establish channels for feedback and issue reporting.

9. Incident Reporting and Investigation:

• Reporting System: Implement a non-punitive reporting system for near-misses and incidents.
• Root Cause Analysis: Conduct thorough investigations to identify human factor-related causes and implement corrective actions.

10. Continuous Improvement:

• Audits and Reviews: Conduct regular audits to assess HFMS effectiveness and identify areas for improvement.
• Innovation: Stay updated with industry practices and technology advancements.

11. Technology Integration:

• Advanced Tools: Use technology such as fatigue monitoring systems and training simulators.
• Automation and AI: Leverage automation to reduce errors and enhance decision-making.

12. Cultural and Behavioral Programs:

• Safety Culture: Promote safety through drills, meetings, and leadership involvement.
• Behavioral Training: Offer programs addressing teamwork, leadership, and stress management.

13. Documentation and Communication:

• Record Keeping: Maintain comprehensive records of policies, procedures, and training.
• Communication: Ensure clear communication channels to facilitate information flow and feedback.

By systematically implementing these components, oil and chemical tanker companies can establish a robust Human Factor Management System. This system enhances safety, operational efficiency, and crew well-being, meeting regulatory requirements and fostering a culture of continuous improvement in maritime operations.
