Chapter 9 – Operational SpacesThe process of addressing HFI issues for the Operational Spaces of the platformis summarized in Figure 9-3. Different workspaces will clearly require differentHFI activities to support their design. All workspaces are developed to takeaccount of the way in which they are used, the proposed equipment fit, theGeneral Arrangement of compartments on the platform, personnel movementand internal environment. Workspaces are assessed to ensure that they meetfunctional, safety and comfort requirements.The process of defining the layout, supporting inter-compartment informationconnectivity and collating manning of operational spaces involves liaisonbetween the HFI Focus and various stakeholders in conducting the HFI activities.The HFI activities are presented in Table 9-1. The ticks represent theprocurement Phases at which the activities are likely to be conducted.C* A D M I D HFI activityDefine Requirements for Operational SpacesProduce Design Specifications for OperationalSpacesEvaluate Operational Spaces DesignSupport ModificationHFI ProcessTable 9-1: HFI Activities for Operational Spaces* The General Arrangement Concept activity is described in Chapter 8.9.2.1 HFI Focus ResponsibilitiesThe HFI Focus is responsible for the following:• Co-ordination of the implementation of equipment workspace userrequirements throughout the platform.• Collation of equipment manning requirements to check that these areacceptable and are properly included in the Basic Manning Requirement(BMR) (Chap 4).• Ensuring that the platform’s equipment HFI environmental,communications, layout and General Arrangement requirements are coordinatedand understood.• Liaison with SSG-ShipSea with respect to seamanship matters, includingreplenishment, survival equipment and upper deck arrangement.• Liaison with Fleet Navigation Officer and SSG-CSNav with respect tobridge, bridge wing and other navigation-related compartment layouts.Nov 2006 Page 9-7 Issue 4
