MAP-01-011 – HFI Technical Guide (STGP 11)HFI Technical Issuesto be understood to define the design of this area. Again, inevitably, acompromise driven by constraints such as space will arise. The HFI analysis ofpersonnel requirements and related risks enables the extent of the compromiseto be understood.17.1.10 Alarms and WarningsThe design requirements for alarms and warnings will be extended to theequipments and is the responsibility of the relevant System Project Managers.However, there is a requirement for establishing uniformity of alarms andwarnings in what they signify and in how they work, e.g. use of colour coding.This is very much a platform issue and, as such, it falls into the remit of theproject’s HFI Focus to formulate the policy.17.1.11 Chemical, Biological, Radiation and Nuclear Defence (CBRND)The formal requirements for CBRN protection are available from Dstl, CBS(Chemical Biological Sciences) and Directorate of Naval Operations (DNO). TheSOPs and citadel policies are well established. The HFI issues in terms ofplatform design are to ensure that:• Minimal Upper Deck activities are required in such environments.• The citadel boundaries do not have to be breached by normal operationaltraffic flow, including feeding and on/off-duty routing.Figure 17-3: Operating underCBRN conditions17.1.12 Equipment Safety RisksTwo main classes of safety risk arise with equipment. The first class is directthreats to the safety of the operator or maintainer when using or maintainingNov 2006 Page 17-10 Issue 4
