Our mission is also to develop human-centred solutions that enhance safety, identify hazards, reduce risks, and support the safe implementation of new technologies in the maritime sector.
Four key research areas
|
01 — GREEN TRANSITION AND NEW TECHNOLOGY |
02 — MENTAL HEALTH AND PSYCHOSOCIAL WORK ENVIRONMENT |
|
How do we ensure that people remain at the centre of the green transition? |
How do we create a safe and healthy working life at sea? |
|
New fuels, batteries, electrification, and digitalisation are changing work, hazards, and risks on board vessels. MHT investigates the implications for work processes, competencies, the work environment, and safety. |
A healthy work environment is essential for a well-functioning and productive maritime workforce. MHT investigates how stress, poor well-being, bullying, harassment, and violence can be prevented. |
|
03 — HUMAN FACTORS AND SAFETY |
04 — HEALTH AND RETENTION |
|
How do we create safe work processes around new technologies? |
How do we prevent illness and support long and healthy working lives in the maritime sector? |
|
MHT investigates the interaction between people, technology, and organisations to support the safe development and implementation of new technologies and work processes. |
MHT generates knowledge about disease, health risks, and prevention with the aim of strengthening health, work ability, and retention. |
