To evaluate the problem of work-related accidents and injuries in fishermen, a survey was conducted among crews of deep-sea fishing trawlers-factory ships of 3 large fishing companies, covering the period of 10 years (1977-1986). In the surveyed population of 10,475 men and a control group of 4,073 workers employed on shore, there were altogether 1,688 work-related accidents recorded, including 33 fatal accidents. Their incidence was 16.54 per 1000 per year (0.32 fatal cases per 1000 men per year). In the control group (n = 4,073 workers), the incidence was 27.98 per 1000 men (0.03 fatal accidents per 1000). There were more accidents recorded in the control group, than in fishermen. But the incidence of fatal cases was about 10 times higher among fishermen than among workers employed on shore. Among 33 fatal cases in fishermen, there were 12 cases of drowning, 6--injuries, 2--intoxications, 1--burn, and 12 cases sudden death at sea considered as "work-related accidents".
为评估渔民工作相关事故和伤害问题，对3家大型渔业公司的深海拖网加工渔船船员进行了一项为期10年（1977 - 1986年）的调查。在接受调查的10475名男性船员以及4073名岸上工作人员组成的对照组中，共记录到1688起工作相关事故，其中包括33起致命事故。事故发生率为每年每1000人中有16.54起（每年每1000名男性中有0.32起致命事故）。在对照组（n = 4073名工人）中，事故发生率为每1000名男性中有27.98起（每1000人中有0.03起致命事故）。对照组记录的事故比渔民组多。但渔民中致命事故的发生率比岸上工作人员高出约10倍。在渔民的33起致命事故中，有12起溺水事故、6起受伤事故、2起中毒事故、1起烧伤事故以及12起在海上突然死亡事故被视为“工作相关事故”。
