OBJECTIVES
To describe the types and circumstances of traumatic work related fatalities in Australian commercial fishermen.
METHODS
Work related traumatic fishing fatalities were studied as part of a larger study of all work related traumatic fatalities in Australia from 1982 to 1984. Data on 47 cases were obtained from inspection of coroners' files.
RESULTS
The incidence of fatality of 143/100,000 person-years was 18 times higher than the incidence of fatality for the entire workforce, and considerably higher than that of the mining and agricultural workforces. 68% of decedents drowned and 13% died from physical trauma. Rough weather, non-seaworthy vessels, inadequate use of personal flotation devices, and inexperience were associated with many of the fatal incidents.
DISCUSSION
Improved vessel and equipment maintenance, better training of workers, greater use of personal flotation devices, and development of improved clothing and personal flotation devices are recommended.
目的
描述澳大利亚商业渔民与工作相关的创伤性死亡的类型和情况。
方法
作为对1982年至1984年澳大利亚所有与工作相关的创伤性死亡的一项更大规模研究的一部分，对与工作相关的创伤性渔业死亡进行了研究。通过检查验尸官档案获得了47例病例的数据。
结果
每10万人年143例的死亡率比整个劳动力的死亡率高18倍，且远高于采矿和农业劳动力的死亡率。68%的死者溺水身亡，13%死于身体创伤。恶劣天气、不适航的船只、个人漂浮设备使用不足以及缺乏经验与许多致命事件有关。
讨论
建议改善船只和设备维护，加强对工人的培训，更多地使用个人漂浮设备，并开发改进的服装和个人漂浮设备。
