Commercial Fishing Occupational Safety TrainingProject Grants (T03)

摘要 除了众所周知的商业捕鱼重伤或死亡的风险外，我们的研究表明 就像许多职业一样，每一次致命的伤害都有许多非致命的伤害。这些伤害可能， 然而，这会导致工作时间损失、残疾、慢性疼痛或行动不便。大约20% 接受调查的渔民表示，他们在过去的渔季中受伤，一半的人损失了时间或 改装后才能工作。虽然防止这些伤害是首要目标，但渔民做好准备是至关重要的。 对可能发生的伤害做出反应。然而，大多数急救课程都是针对陆上护理的， 快速获得院前护理并将其送往诊所或医院。荒野或严酷的急救使用基本的 急救原则，但专门针对资源有限的情况进行调整，例如 商业捕鱼。本培训项目采用USCG批准的渔民急救和安全培训 (FAST)，并持续和努力展示其有效性、可扩展性和可持续性。我们是 提议加强全国伙伴关系，以完善和促进培训最佳做法，并增加 有能力提供针对商业捕鱼的急救培训。拟议的重建项目将继续 完善最佳做法并加强伙伴关系，以提供针对商业捕捞的急救培训； 通过重新认证和培训新的人员来维持提供针对商业捕捞的急救培训的能力 并加强支持他们的基础设施；继续提供以证据为基础的实地 向美国各地的商业渔民演示了USCG认证的急救培训。该项目 将有一个健全的评估方案，对执行过程和经验进行评估 具体到每个目标的结果。这项工作将加强渔民对 海上紧急情况，从而减少其残疾和生命威胁的可能性。此外，我们的项目将 促进更广泛地接受在商业捕鱼中预防和控制伤害的重要性 美国，并宣传渔民本身对于在水上工作时保持安全至关重要。

Abstract In addition to the well-publicized risks of severe injury or death in commercial fishing, our research suggests that—like many occupations—for every fatal injury there are many non-fatal injuries. These injuries may, nonetheless, lead to lost work time, disability, chronic pain or mobility limitations. Approximately 20% fishermen surveyed indicated they had an injury in the past season, with half resulting in lost time or modification to work. While prevention of these injuries is the first goal, it is critical that fishermen are prepared to respond to injuries that may occur. Most first aid courses, however, are geared toward land-based care, with rapid access to pre-hospital care and transport to clinics or hospitals. Wilderness or austere first aid uses basic principles of first aid, but tailors them specifically to settings in which resources are limited, such as to commercial fishing. This training project takes the USCG-approved Fisherman First Aid and Safety Training (FFAST), and sustains and effort demonstrating its effectiveness, scalability, and sustainability. We are proposing to strengthen a nationwide partnership to refine and promote training best practices and to increase capacity to provide commercial fishing-specific first aid training. The proposed renewal project will continue to refine best practices and strengthen partnerships to deliver commercial fishing-specific first aid training; sustain capacity to deliver commercial fishing-specific first aid training by re-certifying and training new instructors and strengthening the infrastructure to support them; and continue to deliver evidence-based, field demonstrated, USCG-certified first aid training to commercial fishermen across the United States. The project will have a robust evaluation protocol which will assess both the process of implementation and the empirical outcomes specific to each aim. This work will enhance the readiness of fishing crews to respond to emergencies at sea, thereby reducing their potential for disability and life threats. In addition, our project will promote a broader acceptance of the importance of injury prevention and control in commercial fishing across the United States, and promote fishermen themselves as crucial to staying safe while working on the water.
