本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.6 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 4.1 本规程的目的是为海上船舶和结构提供人机工程学设计标准，以确保海上系统和设备的设计符合人的性能、人的工作量、健康和安全、生存能力和宜居性的要求。 4.2 人类行为原则: 4.2.1 有一些人类行为的基本原则可以控制或影响每个人在工作场所的表现。其中一些行为是由文化衍生的，而另一些行为是普遍的，在世界所有文化和地理区域都是一致的。这些行为会影响一个人对工作的身体、社会和心理方式，以及他们工作的安全程度。在船舶或海上结构物的设计中，如果不满足这些行为原则，可能会鼓励甚至迫使海事人员在日常活动中承担不安全的风险。 因此，船舶和海事设备、系统和设施的设计者必须了解这些原则，以便为海事人员提供安全高效的工作场所。 4.2.2 这些原则包括: 4.2.2.1 如果船员认为船舶或海事设施的设计不安全或效率低下，用户将对其进行修改，通常解决最初的问题，但引入其他可能与原始问题一样糟糕或更糟的问题。 4.2.2.2 设备设计应鼓励安全使用，即不提供可不安全使用的硬件和软件。 4.2.2.3 如果设备或系统的设计不符合用户的文化和陈规定型期望，使他们认为它会运行，那么人为错误的机会就会大大增加。 4.2.2.4 如果操作员/维护人员认为设备或系统过于复杂，或需要比他们认为必要的更大的努力来操作或维护，他们总是会寻找“捷径”。 此外，这种“捷径”在不安全的情况下可能被认为是安全的。 4.2.2.5 任何培训、公司或组织政策、报复行动威胁、技术手册或培训指南中的警告注释，或恳求人员在工作中安全，都无法克服鼓励、引导甚至强迫人员在工作中采取不安全行为的不良设计。防止不安全设计导致事故的最有效方法是消除不安全设计。 4.2.2.6 设备用户可能无法识别设计中的潜在危险。因此，设计师应识别用户可能无法识别的不安全特征，以最小化或消除不安全的任务、操作和行为。此外，如果存在危险，设计师应将过程和程序中固有的已知危险清楚地传达给用户。 4.2.2.7 设计师应考虑人为错误和设计设备的可能性，以便错误使用（故意或意外）对用户造成的伤害很小或没有。 4.2.2.8 如果标签、说明或操作图不完整、不清晰、不可读且位置不正确，设备操作员和维护人员将被迫推断出标签、说明或操作图的状态。 4.2.2.9 设计师和工程师不得将自己作为评估特定设计的标准。人有很多形状、大小、心智能力和能力。因此，为所有潜在用户进行设计，包括身体、心理和社交。 4.2.2.10 应保护人民免受伤害。设计者不能制造不安全的设备或系统，并期望用户对其安全使用承担全部责任。 4.2.2.11 设备维护的方便性会影响设备的可靠性，也就是说，维护越难，维护越少。 4.2.2.12 设计为需要多个操作员同时工作的设备增加了操作员出错的可能性。 4.2.2.13 操作/维护程序应清晰、明确和全面，否则会被误解或忽略。 4.2.2.14 结构物，如管道、电缆槽或任何其他看起来足够坚固的物品，可供人抓住或站立，并放置在方便的位置用于该目的，最终将用于该目的。 4.2.2.15 用户希望其工作场所的设计和安排保持一致。因此，如果该工作场所或其任何部分出现在其工作环境中的多个地方，则其位置和外观应与每个位置相同。 4.2.2.16 当与特定设备相关的控制器和显示器放置在控制台或控制面板上时，它们应位于该控制台或面板上，以复制操作员查看的船舶或结构上设备的实际位置。 因此，操作员面对控制站时左侧的设备应出现在控制面板或控制台的左侧，右侧的设备应出现在控制台或面板的右侧。真实世界和与该世界的设备和系统相关的控件和显示器之间的这种“空间关系”在船舶和海洋结构物的设计中极为重要。 4.2.3 用户根据其文化体验开发行为模式。设计一艘忽略或违反这些文化衍生行为模式的船只或结构将不可避免地增加用户错误的风险。 4.3 冲突- 如果本规程中包含的设计标准与人体工程学设计标准的其他来源之间存在冲突，则应以本规程为准，除非冲突标准由监管机构制定 4.4 覆盖范围- 容器、结构、系统、子系统和设备的设计应使用本文包含的设计标准，以提供以下内容: 4.4.1 安全大气条件，包括温度和湿度； 4.4.2 限制噪音和振动，防止性能下降和生理损伤； 4.4.3 人员及其设备的空间，以及在正常和紧急情况下执行操作和维护任务所需的移动和活动的自由空间； 4.4.4 在正常和紧急情况下，个人之间以及人员与其设备之间的物理、视觉、听觉和其他通信链路； 4.4.5 高效安排操作和维护工作场所、设备、结构元件、控件和显示器； 4.4.6 在正常和紧急情况下，适合执行所有操作和维护任务的自然或人工照明； 4.4.7 安全通道、舱口、楼梯、梯子、走道、平台、坡道，以及正常和紧急情况下的其他入口、出口和通道； 4.4.8 提供防护设备和防护服、系统、设备、容器和结构，由穿戴设备和防护服的人员操作和维护； 4.4.9 控制/显示界面与人类信息处理能力的兼容性； 4.4.10 在操作员采取每次控制动作或行动后，立即、准确和相关地向操作员反馈设备或系统性能； 4.4.11 满足人类行为需求的设计，如空间关系、一致性、稳态以及文化和设备期望； 4.4.12 提供清晰、简洁、易懂的标签、危险标志、说明和程序； 4.4.13 在故障可能导致关键系统失效或对设备造成灾难性损坏、人员受伤或任务能力丧失的区域，提供故障安全设计； 4.4.14 将系统操作和维护中潜在的人为错误发生率降至最低的设计，尤其是在压力条件下，以及确保已发生的错误能够及时纠正的设计（该设计具有容错性）； 4.4.15 设计应尽量减少培训时间和成本，并鼓励简化，以减少操作或维护所需的人员特殊技能或天生能力； 4.4.16 将船舶运动对人体性能、健康和安全的不利影响降至最低的设计；和 4.4.17 为来自海洋世界所有地理区域的用户群体提供安全高效操作和维护的设计。 4.5 标准化- 对于容器或结构上多次出现的项目或设计，设备和面板布局的控制、显示、标记、编码、标签和布置方案应统一。人机界面应展示基于惯例的通用设计方法，并符合操作员和维护人员的期望。 4.6 现成设备- 选择现成商业或政府提供的设备的一个标准应该是设备符合本规程设计标准的程度。如果现成设备需要修改以与其他设备接口，则修改的设计应符合本惯例。 4.7 尽量减少人员- 船舶或结构、设备、系统和子系统的设计目标应是减少参与人员的数量，尤其是在完成特定任务的同时。 另一个设计目标应是优化船舶或系统的人员配备，定义为符合人的绩效、工作量和安全要求、可靠性、可承受性和风险约束的最小人员数量。 4.8 完整性- 人们认识到，任何设计指南或实践都不能涵盖船舶或海洋结构物演变过程中可能出现的每一项设计要求。人们认识到，在某些情况下，可能需要根据确实存在的数据来解释特定的设计要求。在某些情况下，可能需要从本实践以外的来源获取设计标准。当出现这些情况时，重要的是由受过培训的人因工程（HFE）专业人员提供协助，这些专业人员熟悉这一点以及其他面向海事的设计准则和标准，并在将这些准则应用于船舶和海事结构的设计方面有经验。

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 4.1 The objective of this practice is to provide ergonomic design criteria for maritime vessels and structures to ensure that maritime systems and equipment are designed in compliance with requirements for human performance, human workload, health and safety, survivability, and habitability. 4.2 Principles of Human Behavior: 4.2.1 There are basic principles of human behavior that control or influence how each person performs in their workplace. Some of these behaviors are culturally derived, while others are general and uniform across all cultures and geographical regions of the world. These behaviors influence a person’s physical, social, and psychological approach toward the work they do and how safely they do that work. Failure to satisfy these behavioral principles in the design of a ship or maritime structure can encourage, or even coerce, maritime personnel into taking unsafe risks in their everyday activities. It is, therefore, imperative that designers of ships and maritime equipment, systems, and facilities know these principles to provide a safe and efficient workplace for maritime personnel. 4.2.2 These principles include: 4.2.2.1 If the design of the ship or maritime facility is considered to be unsafe or inefficient by the crew, it will be modified by the users, often solving the initial problem but introducing others that may be as bad, or worse, than the original. 4.2.2.2 Equipment design shall be such that it encourages safe use, that is, does not provide hardware and software that can be used in an unsafe manner. 4.2.2.3 If the equipment or system is not designed to operate as the users’ cultural and stereotypical expectations lead them to think that it will operate, the chance for human error is significantly increased. 4.2.2.4 If equipment or systems are perceived by operators/maintainers to be too complex or require more effort to operate or maintain than they believe is necessary, they will always look for a “shortcut.” Further, this “shortcut” may be perceived as being safe when it is not. 4.2.2.5 No amount of training, company or organizational policy, threats of retaliatory action, warning notes in a technical manual or training guide, or pleading with personnel to be safe on the job can overcome poor design that encourages, leads, or even coerces personnel into unsafe acts on the job. The most efficient way to prevent unsafe design from contributing to an accident is to eliminate the unsafe design. 4.2.2.6 Equipment users may not recognize latent hazards in a design. Therefore designers shall identify unsafe features that may not be recognized by users to minimize, or eliminate unsafe tasks, operations and acts. In addition, if hazards exist, the designer should clearly communicate known hazards inherent in processes and procedures to the users. 4.2.2.7 Designers shall consider the possibility for human error and design equipment so that incorrect use (deliberate or accidental) will result in little or no harm to the user. 4.2.2.8 Equipment operators and maintainers will be forced to infer as to what a label, instruction, or operational chart states if it is not complete, legible, readable, and positioned correctly. 4.2.2.9 Designers and engineers shall never use themselves as the standard against which a particular design is evaluated. People come in many shapes, sizes, mental capacities, and capabilities. Therefore, design for the full range of potential users, physically, mentally, and socially. 4.2.2.10 People shall be protected against themselves. Designers cannot create an unsafe piece of equipment or system and expect the users to assume full responsibility for its safe use. 4.2.2.11 Ease of equipment maintenance affects the equipment’s reliability, that is, the harder it is to be maintained, the less it will be maintained. 4.2.2.12 Equipment designed to require multiple operators working together simultaneously increases the likelihood of operator errors. 4.2.2.13 Operational/maintenance procedures shall be clear, definitive, and comprehensive, otherwise, they will be misinterpreted or ignored. 4.2.2.14 Structural items such as piping, cable trays, or any other item that appears strong enough to be used by a person to hold onto or stand on, and is placed in a convenient location to use for that purpose, will eventually be used for that purpose. 4.2.2.15 Users expect consistency in the design and arrangement of their workplace. Therefore, if that workplace, or any part thereof, appears in more than one place in their work environment, it is expected to be located and look the same way at every location. 4.2.2.16 When controls and displays associated with particular pieces of equipment are placed on a console or control panel, they shall be located on that console or panel to replicate the actual location of the equipment on the ship or structure as both are viewed by the operator. Therefore, equipment that is to the operator’s left as he or she faces the control station shall appear on the left of the control panel or console, and equipment to the right shall appear on the right side of the console or panel. This “spatial relationship” between the real world and the controls and displays that are associated with the equipment and systems of that world is extremely important in the design of ships and maritime structures. 4.2.3 Users develop behavioral patterns based on their cultural experiences. Designing a ship or structure that ignores or violate those culturally derived behavior patterns will inevitably increase risks of user error. 4.3 Conflicts— Where conflicts exist between the design criteria contained in this practice and other sources of ergonomic design criteria, this practice should prevail except where the conflicting criteria were produced by a regulatory authority 4.4 Coverage— The design of vessels, structures, systems, subsystems, and equipment shall use the design criteria contained herein to provide the following: 4.4.1 Safe atmospheric conditions including temperature and humidity; 4.4.2 Limits on acoustic noise and vibration that will prevent performance degradation and physiological damage; 4.4.3 Space for personnel, their equipment, and free volume for the movements and activities they are required to perform for operational and maintenance tasks under both normal and emergency conditions; 4.4.4 Physical, visual, auditory, and other communication links between individual personnel and between personnel and their equipment under both normal and emergency conditions; 4.4.5 Efficient arrangement of operation and maintenance workplaces, equipment, structural elements, controls, and displays; 4.4.6 Natural or artificial illumination at levels suitable to perform all operational and maintenance tasks under both normal and emergency conditions; 4.4.7 Safe passageways, hatches, stairs, ladders, walkways, platforms, ramps, and other provisions for ingress, egress, and passage under both normal and emergency conditions; 4.4.8 Provision for protective equipment and clothing, systems, equipment, vessels, and structures that are designed to be operated and maintained by personnel wearing the equipment and clothing; 4.4.9 Compatibility of control/display interfaces with human information processing capability; 4.4.10 Immediate, accurate, and pertinent feedback to the operator of equipment or system performance after each control movement or action taken by the operator; 4.4.11 Designs that satisfy human behavioral needs such as spatial relationships, consistency, homeostasis, and cultural and equipment expectations; 4.4.12 Provision for labels, hazard signage, instructions, and procedures that are clear, concise, and understandable; 4.4.13 Provision for fail-safe designs in those areas in which failure can disable a vital system or cause catastrophic damage to equipment, injury to personnel, or loss of mission capability; 4.4.14 Designs that minimize potential human error incidence in the operation and maintenance of the system, particularly under conditions of stress and designs that ensure that errors, having been committed, can be corrected in time (the design is error tolerant); 4.4.15 Designs that minimize training time and costs and encourage simplicity so as to reduce personnel special skills or innate abilities required to operate or maintain them; 4.4.16 Designs that minimize the adverse impact of ship motion on human performance and health and safety; and 4.4.17 Designs that provide for safe and efficient operation and maintenance by user populations from all geographical regions of the maritime world. 4.5 Standardization— Controls, displays, markings, coding, labeling, and arrangement schemes for equipment and panel layouts shall be uniform for those items or designs that appear more than once on the vessel or structure. Human-machine interfaces shall exhibit common design approaches based on conventions and conformance to operator and maintainer expectations. 4.6 Off-the-Shelf Equipment— One criterion for selecting off-the-shelf commercial or government-furnished equipment should be the degree to which the equipment conforms to the design criteria of this practice. Where off-the-shelf equipment requires modification to interface with other equipment, the modification should be designed to comply with this practice. 4.7 Minimize Personnel— The design objective of the vessel or structure, equipment, systems, and subsystems shall be to reduce the number of personnel involved, especially simultaneously, in completing a particular task. Another design objective shall be to optimize ship or system manning, defined as the minimum number of personnel consistent with human performance, workload and safety requirements, reliability, affordability, and risk constraints. 4.8 Completeness— It is realized that no design guide or practice can cover every design requirement that might occur through the course of a ship or maritime structure’s evolution. It is recognized that there will be occurrences in which a particular design requirement may have to be interpreted from the data that do exist. There may also be occasions in which design criteria may have to be acquired from a source other than this practice. When those occurrences arise, it is important that assistance be provided by trained human factors engineering (HFE) professionals familiar with this, and other, maritime-oriented design guidelines and standards and experienced in the application of these guidelines to the design of ships and maritime structures.
