Overview
Background & policy context:
The existing common accident and incident analysis schemes in maritime operations do not pay adequate attention to human and organisational errors, and differ significantly between EU countries. Moreover, the gathering of facts by authorities is coupled to the question and investigation of guilt, which inevitably limits access to crucial and unbiased information.
Objectives:
CASMET aimed to help develop a common methodology for the investigation of maritime accidents and the reporting of hazardous incidents, and to improve the understanding of human factors related to accidents.
The main objectives of CASMET have been:
- to develop a procedure and methodology for the investigation and analysis of maritime casualties which can be introduced into a common EU casualty database;
- to demonstrate the results of the proposed methodology and to evaluate its impact assessment with selected cases, in particular with respect to human factors;
- to develop a cost-effectiveness model, that estimates the risk reduction effect of a preventive measure by means of a formal safety assessment technique which is supported by the casualty analysis methodology.
