The China Maritime Safety Administration (MSA) has started a focused inspection campaign from January 15 to October 14, 2025, to enhance safety for personnel who access enclosed spaces aboard ships.
“Human factors refer to environmental, organisational and job factors, and human and individual characteristics, which influence behaviour at work in a way which can affect health and safety”.
Lack of Assertiveness, Stress, Lack of Awareness, Norms, Lack of Communication, Complacency, Lack of Leadership, Capability and Fatigue are some of the human related characteristics that can determine the performance of each one of us; these are the aspects which we will be focusing on since they can significantly influence the escalation or mitigation of a critical situation.
The campaign will address skills that are related to the cognitive, social and personal resource skills that complement technical skills, and contribute to safe and efficient task performance.
