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.
