This year, the goal for World Day of Safety and Health is “Let's ensure a healthy psychosocial working environment.” With this theme, the International Labour Organisation aims to bring attention to how psychosocial factors like workload, clarity, and autonomy affect workers and their safety.
The maritime sector is one of the main industries where psychosocial factors can mean life or death. When sailors face huge workloads without sufficient rest, or information overload from the many systems on the bridge, or struggle to manage multiple crises at the same time, they tend to make mistakes.
At Edge, we build systems that minimise cognitive load for crews and enable sailors and captains to make good decisions quickly. For us, convenience is not just a good-to-have, it’s a crucial factor in our design decisions.
We know that good user experience doesn’t just make the journey enjoyable, it also keeps lives safe.
