This study aims at getting a comprehensive view of the incidence, nature and circumstances leading up to injuries in Icelandic waters in 2001-2005.
The NOMESCO database at Landspitali University Hospital registers prospectively accidents at sea treated in the Emergency Department, including circumstances leading to the accident, vessel type, experience, task being performed, weather conditions etc. The Icelandic Marine Accident Investigation Board provided data on fatal injuries, and additional information on injuries at sea was collected from the Social Insurance Administration (SIA).
Of 17 fatal accidents occurring in 2001-2005 14 were work related which amounts to 54/100.000 seamen/year. The SIA received 1787 injury reports (7% of registered seamen), 826 sought assistance at Landspitali, 52 were admitted with an average injury severity score of 5.5 (1-16) and no ensuing fatalities. Most accidents occurred on fishing vessels (87%), 51% thereof on trawlers. Experienced fishermen are most commonly injured, working on deck in daylight and stable weather.
Fatalities have declined steadily in the last two decades, yet 7% of registered fishermen sustain injuries each year. These occur amongst experienced fishermen in good external conditions, which calls for revision of safety procedures on board.
本研究旨在全面了解2001年至2005年冰岛海域受伤事件的发生率、性质及相关情况。
Landspitali大学医院的NOMESCO数据库前瞻性地记录了急诊科收治的海上事故，包括事故发生情况、船只类型、经验、所执行的任务、天气状况等。冰岛海事事故调查委员会提供了致命伤的数据，此外还从社会保险管理局（SIA）收集了海上受伤的其他信息。
在2001年至2005年发生的17起致命事故中，有14起与工作相关，相当于每年每10万名海员中有54人。SIA收到了1787份受伤报告（占注册海员的7%），其中826人在Landspitali寻求帮助，52人入院，平均受伤严重程度评分为5.5（1至16分），无后续死亡情况。大多数事故发生在渔船上（87%），其中51%发生在拖网渔船上。经验丰富的渔民最常受伤，受伤时是在白天且天气稳定的情况下在甲板上工作。
在过去二十年中，死亡人数稳步下降，但每年仍有7%的注册渔民受伤。这些受伤事件发生在经验丰富的渔民身上，且外部条件良好，这就需要修订船上的安全程序。
