没有一个单一的、客观的地方可以用来评估风险，评估和最大限度地减少风险的最佳方法是从各种不同的知识代理人那里寻求投入，这些知识代理人专注于风险的不同来源和维度，并使用多种方法。本文借鉴了韦恩的工作，建构现实主义和女性主义文学的男性气概，检查捕鱼者的理解和经验的风险和安全的纽芬兰和拉布拉多省在加拿大东海岸。使用焦点小组，电话采访和从纽芬兰捕鱼机的个人船图尔斯之旅得出的数据，有人认为，他们的理解和风险和安全的做法是动态的，这种动态反映了日常要求的交叉点，以完成工作，在什么往往是不确定的和受约束的情况下，与相互作用和不断变化的监管，工业和环境背景下，这项工作是这样做的。从这个角度来看，虽然从死亡率、事故率或搜救事件率方面量化渔业风险很重要，但必须将捕鱼者的经验和相关安全知识纳入旨在减少风险的研究和政策制定中。船只甲板上的视野和捕鱼者在水上的经验不仅为他们观察和解释风险提供了信息，而且还提供了对风险的潜在见解，以及在试图了解捕鱼风险和提高安全性时应该考虑的专家关于风险的主张。
There is no single, objective place from which to assess risk, and the best way to assess and minimise risk is through seeking input from a variety of different knowledge agents focusing on different sources and dimensions of risk and using multiple methodologies. This paper draws on Wynne's work on constructivist-realism and on the feminist literature on masculinity to examine fish harvesters' understandings and experiences of risk and safety in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador on Canada's east coast. Using data drawn from focus groups, phone interviews and from individual boat tours with Newfoundland fish harvesters, it is argued that their understandings and practices of risk and safety are dynamic and that this dynamism reflects the intersection of everyday requirements to get the job done in what are often uncertain and constrained circumstances associated with the interacting and changing regulatory, industrial and environmental contexts in which this work is done. From this perspective, while quantifying fisheries risks in terms of fatality, accident or Search and Rescue incident rates is important, the inclusion of fish harvesters' experiences and related safety knowledge in research and policy-development designed to reduce risk is imperative. The view from the deck of the vessel and fish harvesters' experiences on the water not only informs their observations and interpretations of risk but offer potential insights into risk and into expert claims about risk that should be taken into account when trying to understand fishing risk and improve safety.
