David Patraiko FNI, Director of Projects at The Nautical Institute, speaking at the launch of Human Performance and Limitation for Mariners. A system of examinations for aviation pilots in human performance and limitation has produced great advances in safety for that sector. This book introduces the concept to seafarers so that they can understand their own limitations and make the best use of their physical and mental abilities in the challenging shipboard environment. This book looks at the realities of living and working onboard and explains how recognising human limitations can improve performance, safety and job satisfaction.
