Approach for IMO to considering ergonomics

  6 The following should be considered by IMO to address ergonomics and the work environment on board ship:

  • .1 review existing IMO instruments to determine where fundamental ergonomics and work environment considerations might enhance shipboard safety and environmental protection; and

  • .2 consider the development of guidance for IMO and the industry, as set forth at appendix, on the application of ergonomics to ships also taking into account existing IMO instruments as relevant (e.g. MSC/Circ.982).
