“…26 They seek to control seafarers' qualifications and behaviors. 27 Bloor et al 28 suggest the focus on "human error" should not encompass blameworthy behavior that arises out of commercial pressures, reduced crew size and turnaround time, inadequate training, excessive hours, and fatigue. In these highly mobile workplaces, work and life are regulated and restricted.…”

Seafaring involves multiple patterns of mobility. Ships are mobile workplaces that connect and disconnect from land. Many move within and between national boundaries. Maritime labor forces are recruited from multiple locations engaging in varying commutes to and from homeports—international commutes for international labor forces and internal commutes for national labor forces. Mobilities expose seafarers to a range of occupational health and safety hazards, which can be exacerbated by mobility-related constraints on regulatory protections. Based on legal analysis and twenty-five semi-structured interviews with Canadian seafarers, managers, and key informants, this exploratory study examines how employment-related geographical mobility may create occupational health and safety challenges for Canadian seafarers working on the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence Seaway. Findings show that few legal instruments are available to protect seafarers from commuting-related occupational hazards and that occupational health and safety challenges are numerous. Seafarers’ occupational health and safety rights on board are restricted and they are systemically discouraged from raising safety concerns.

A significant amount of world trade has been carried out by maritime transportation. In 2016, world maritime trade volume increased by 2% and reached 10.3 billion tons, 55,057 global ton-miles. There has been a significant increase in quantity and tonnage of tankers, with the requirement for well qualified and experienced personnel in the maritime industry. Therefore, employment has become a serious problem. Major Oil Companies (MOCs), port states, classification societies, and flag states have increased the number of inspections on tankers due to safety concerns. Tanker inspections are becoming more difficult and inefficient due to intensive cargo operations. Inefficient, subjective or substandard inspections/evaluations are usually leading to incorrect decisions, and causing an unfair market. In addition, corrective actions cannot be carried out properly, and decision making authorities cannot give the best decisions about vessels and their operator companies due to lack of scientific methods. In this study, details are identified such as finding the root causes, identifying the risks, understanding the possible consequences, and determining the working areas during the ship crews', operators', auditors' and charterers' working and ship selection periods. Pairwise comparisons were carried out by means of surveys on ship masters (captains), chief officers, deck officers, and superintendents. Five criteria-Crew, Equipment, Company, Structure, and ISM (International Safety Management) were weighted using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Finally, Bridge Safety Support System (BSSS) was developed according to criteria weights. In this way, best choices can be offered to ship charterers about which ship is better for a company's interests. And, carrying out bridge inspections and corrective actions will be more reliable and effective for maritime transportation. Statistical data and vessel improvements will be obtained in BSSS. As a result, fair market conditions will be available in maritime industry with the help of this study. How to cite this paper: Altun, M.H.A. and Kum, S.

“…Many domains share similar properties to aviation including dynamism, high information load, variable workload and risk; themes consistent with driving. Other domains to explore SA include team or crew based situations (Ellis, 2014), air traffic control (Durso et al, 1999), military command and control (Riley et al, 2006), submarine operators (Loft et al, 2014), military aviation (Endsley, 1987;Sulistyawati et al, 2011), battlefield operations (Kim and Hoffmann, 2003;Strater et al, 2004), team situations (Kaber and Endsley, 1998), medical disciplines such as education of health practitioners (Patterson et al, 2017;Wright et al, 2004), nursing (Sitterding et al, 2012), emergency services (Busby and Witucki-Brown, 2011) and anaesthesiology (Gaba et al, 1995), mobile computing (Dancu and Marshall, 2015;Streefkerk et al, 2006), fleet management (D'Aniello et al, 2017), seafaring (Cordon et al, 2017), train controllers (Lo et al, 2016) control room operations (Collier and Folleso, 1995;Connors et al, 2007), offshore oil drilling crews (Sneddon et al, 2006), computing based environments (Wang, 2010), cyber operations (Mancuso et al, 2015) and executive decision making forums (Resnick, 2003).…”

In the driving environment, competition exists between Driving Related Activities (DRAs) and Non-Driving Related Activities (NDRAs). This is a source of inattention and human error. Continual proliferation of in-vehicle information systems (IVIS) presents drivers with opportunities for distraction. Drivers simultaneously manage DRAs alongside unrelated but cognitively demanding NDRAs. Vehicle designers need ways of understanding human capability in such situations to provide solutions that accommodate these conflicting demands. This paper proposes a framework intended to address such challenges, rooted in the widely accepted construct of Situation Awareness (SA). However, SA theory does not presently accommodate disparate unrelated goal-driven tasks performed in parallel. This framework reconciles the present reality of drivers simultaneously devoting cognitive resources to attain SA for multiple activities by proposing a separate body of knowledge for each active goal. Additionally, the process of achieving SA is expanded to incorporate this concurrent development of separate bodies of goal-directed knowledge. The advantage of reconceptualising SA for driving allows consideration of interface design which minimises the impact of competing activities. The aim is a framework facilitating creation of IVIS that help drivers succeed in multi-goal multitasking situations. Implications of the proposed framework for theory, design, and industry-driven automotive safety efforts are discussed.
