4. Leading the way; making a difference Our Goal Zero fatalities Zero pollution Zero detentions Our committee set up ISTEC Vetting HEiSC

5. Leading the way; making a difference When things go wrong Human error 80% all accidents 100%? So naturally we focus on people New regulations

6. Leading the way; making a difference Why Rules are not followed Lack of knowledge Taking a short-cut Lack of surveillance and enforcement Lack of trust Demonstrate professional skill Rule could not cover everything

7. Leading the way; making a difference Seafarers ‘buy into the rule’ They need to understand why it is necessary, why they should follow it and why they should train others to follow it. And regulators must always be seen to be applying the same rules and enforcing them equally.

8. Leading the way; making a difference Importance of people Integral part of the system Rules cannot cover everything, so machines cannot do everything People can think

9. Leading the way; making a difference Designing for people Design the human into the system Not just ergonomics Think how people will: work with, use and maintain the system

33. Leading the way; making a difference Maritime Labour Convention

34. Leading the way; making a difference Maritime Labour Convention 20 August for first 30 States Various dates after that On ratification, Entry into force one year later PSC very active Paris MoU detained 8 ships in first month 12% of those inspected

35. Leading the way; making a difference Resolution XVII Requests … during a period of one year following the initial entry into … flag and port States give due consideration to allowing ships to continue to operate without the certificate and declaration referred to, provided that their inspectors have no evidence that the ships do not conform to the requirements of the Convention

36. Leading the way; making a difference Paris MoU “…during a period of one year after 20 August 2013. ILO invited the member States to take a pragmatic approach in this respect during the first year.” So 12% detention rate is pragmatic!

37. Leading the way; making a difference Deficiencies Mostly revolve around lack of documentation No evidence on board of crew contracts Absence of seaman’s books No reports of physical problems nor complaints

38. Leading the way; making a difference Flag State rule differences EMSA head of PSC stated that as long as the flag has gone through its processes, a PSC must accept their interpretations. Differences between flag and costal state must be accepted
