Commercial Fishing Safety Training- Continuing Education

项目摘要和相关性 阿拉斯加海洋安全教育协会的使命。（AMSEA）是为了减少生命和伤害的损失， 海洋环境，特别是商业捕鱼。商业捕鱼是世界上 因此，本项目与AMSEA的使命和公众健康有关。 该项目的长期目标是降低阿拉斯加商业捕鱼的死亡率。这将是 通过以下目标实现： 1.透过定期的区域海事安全导师，扩大AMSEA驻港口导师网络 培训（MSIT）。这将为阿拉斯加遥远的渔港提供至少20个新的本地合格的 这些教员可以指导海上安全设备和程序。其中至少一个 MSIT课程可能在阿拉斯加以外的地方，以创建所需的区域培训基础设施。 2.继续向渔民和渔民提供最新的教学材料。这些教学材料 利用NIOSH、海岸警卫队和国家运输安全委员会的统计数据和伤亡人数， 建议，并包括每年至少3期的《海洋安全最新消息》，供1，500名海员阅读。 3.继续每年向至少350人提供联邦要求的教官培训。 4.每年至少为65人提供教官进修培训。复习训练已经 证明是至关重要的（林肯，2002年），以提高生存能力，在海上伤亡。 5.每年举办一次MSIT进修课程，以更新教师的有效教学和内容。 6.继续评估该项目中的训练与伤亡后生存能力之间的关系。 7.开展一项关于保留技能的研究，以此为基础，宣传进修培训的必要性。 与公共卫生的相关性： 伤亡报告表明，未能正确使用安全和救生设备，以及 缺乏每月的船上安全演习是造成如此高的生命损失的原因。在这方面的安全培训 一项已经在减少死亡人数方面产生了重大统计影响的建议将得到加强， 扩大

Project Summary and Relevance The mission of the Alaska Marine Safety Education Assn. (AMSEA) is to reduce the loss of life and injury in the marine environment, especially in commercial fishing. Commercial fishing is one of the top two most dangerous workplaces in the U.S. Thus this project is relevant to the mission of AMSEA and public health. The long term goal of this project is to reduce the fatality rate in commercial fishing in Alaska. This will be accomplished by the following objectives: 1. Enlarge the port based AMSEA instructor network through periodic regional Marine Safety Instructor Training (MSIT). This will provide Alaska's far flung fishing ports with at least 20 new locally based quallified instructors per year, who can in turn instruct marine safety equipment and procedures. A least one of these MSIT courses may take place outside Alaska to create needed regional training infrastructure. 2. Continue to provide updated instructional material to fishermen and fishers. These instructional materials make use of NIOSH, Coast Guard and National Transportation Safety Board statistics and casualty recommendations and include at least 3 issues of Marine Safety Update to 1,500 mariners per year. 3. Continue to provide federally required Drill Instructor training to at least 350 people a year. 4. Make available Drill Instructor refresher training to at least 65 people a year. Refresher training has been demonstrated to be vital (Lincoln, 2002) to improve survivability during a maritime casualty. 5. Conduct one MSIT refresher course per year to update instructors in effective teaching and content. 6. Continue to assess the relationship between the training in this project and survivability post casualty. 7. Conduct a study on skills retention as a basis to educate about the need for refresher training. Relevance to Public Health: Casualty reports have demonstrated that the failure to properly use safety and survival equipment, as well as the lack of monthly onboard safety drills, has contributed to this high loss of life. The safety training in this proposal, which has already has had a significant statistical effect in reducing fatalties, will be enhanced and expanded.
