Some trade-offs may need to be consideredearly on, subject to the priority order of the <strong>HFI</strong> issues and risks identified in theEarly <strong>Human</strong> <strong>Factors</strong> Analysis (EHFA).Shock and relative motion can also cause personal injury. Equipments can bedesigned to withstand far greater shock impulses than humans. A range ofhuman shock resilience envelopes can be derived in relation to the workspaceand tasks to be undertaken. At the equipment level, these are defined for theoperator by the relevant System Project Manager. At the platform level,consideration must be given to the design implications of:• Minimising damage to walking and seated personnel.• Hull whip and distortion in relation to compartment location.• Security of fixtures and fittings on bulkheads and decks, particularly inheavily populated compartments.As a consequence of designing for a low radar cross-section, surface shipsuperstructures may assume unconventional shapes and potentially give rise toawkward compartment shapes. Careful consideration needs to be given tospace utilisation. Angled sides, for example, are an additional consideration inmain access deck design regarding central versus side passageways.Unconventional hull forms potentially affect operational and accommodationspaces. Consideration needs to be given to console shapes and location ofsystem routing (with regard to maintainer access) and human traffic flow(especially if there are areas of limited deck head height).Nov 2006 Page 17-7 Issue 4
