| Abstract |
The majority of persons involved in small-scale and artisanal fishing work in the informal sector and therefore do not have access to occupational safety and health services available to other types of workers. This report focusses on the risks and dangers in small-scale and artisanal fisheries. It reviews working conditions, typical risks and dangers, safety approaches in developed and developing countries, accidents associated with the marine environment, navigation and fishing operations, problems associated with boat design and construction as well as other risks and dangers. The influence of fishery management systems and economic factors, wars, pirates and other hostile acts are addressed. All these issues are evaluated and recommendations for action in several areas are made. |
