Introductory basics of navigation and editing pages are at EditingMareSIG.

There is a handout you might want to download and read first. Right click on the link and choose "save target as..."

To contribute, you will need to Register - see the bottom menu on the left. You will then be able to edit pages using the simple editor. Just adding text is very straightforward.

There are pages to ResetPassword and ChangePassword . Please note the password controls are 'industrial strength'.

Material on Twiki follows at the bottom of this page and at TextFormattingRules.

Site Navigation

The web site is divided into a number of "webs". These are shown under the Twiki Webs menu on the left hand side.

Anthropometry is about the use of anthropometry, particularly in a maritime context. The topic of passenger and crew weight in lifeboats and small craft is one of the topics that is active in regulatory discussion.

HEWG is an unofficial site about the IMO MSC/MEPC Human Element Working Group, which the Ergonomics Society attended as part of the UK delegation.

MarESIG contains the main technical content for the SIG.

TWiki is the web that starts with this page.

There is a FeedBack page for ideas and suggestions on how to improve the site.

The co-ordinator is Brian Sherwood Jones brian@processforusability.coNOSPAM.uk (you will need to remove the NOSPAM from the email address) who would like to acknowledge the support of Lloyd's Register EMEA. The smart bits of the interactive website are being done by Bruce of http://www.bkdesign.ca so comments and suggestions related to the content to Brian (or preferably on the FeedBack page) and orders for website design to Bruce.
