| Abstract |
For the European Year of Safety, Hygiene and Health at Work 1992 the European Communities considered fishing among their priority sectors. Epidemiological aspects and prevention experiences were therefore studied, confirming that in Italy fishing is a highly hazardous occupation. Risk factors are due to the natural environment (in case of events like shipwrecks, man overboard), to the on-board environment (noise, heavy shift work, dangerous fishing equipment) and also to the lifestyle of the fishermen. Prevention plans ought to consider the prevalence of small enterprises and the presently limited possibilities of preventive action in this sector by safety and health institutions. |
