What is the Alert! human element initiative?

The Nautical Institute and the Lloyd’s Register Educational Trust recognise the need to improve the awareness of human element issues across the maritime industry.

The aim of the Alert! project is to improve the application of human element principles in the design, construction and operation of ships.

The primary objectives of the project are to promote the need for human element awareness at a well-considered professional level, and to explain the relevance of the human element to ship operations. To this end, it provides a forum for like-minded people to share ideas, through the Alert! bulletins, and through the website.
