“…According to Murrey et al, anxiety and uncertainty about work contributed to occupational injuries among fishermen [77]. Research recommends job hazard analysis when dealing with psychological risks [78]. It is possible to reduce risks by designing ships appropriately [79].…”

In developing countries such as China, commercial fishermen’s occupational health risks are rarely studied despite being extremely critical for the sustainable development of the fisheries sector. In this study, we attempt for the first time to categorize and prioritize multiple types of health risks posed by these fishermen. This was accomplished by conducting a structured questionnaire survey between 9 January 2022 and 24 May 2022. We sought the professional opinion of fishermen that were located in the coastal areas of Zhejiang, China, namely Zhoushan (121 responses, 64%), Taizhou (66 responses, 49%), and Wenzhou (94 responses, 53%). This study used two hundred eighty-one questionnaires with a consistency ratio (CR) below 0.1 and completed in every respect. Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchical Process (Fuzzy AHP) and Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) statistics were employed to perform statistical analysis. Results have revealed that commercial fishermen’s health is affected by five main risk factors, namely natural (0.058), biological (0.088), social (0.152), psychological (0.234), and physical (0.468), which are arranged from the least to the most significant risk factors. As for the performance of the main risk factors, the physical risk was ranked first (4.786), followed by social risk (4.571), psychological risk (4.214), biological risk (4.000), and natural risk (3.429). These research findings can serve as guidelines for managers. Moreover, this study discusses ramifications, constraints, and proposals for future research.

“…Intensive levels of production and processing in seafood have, and continue to cause, more frequent reporting of occupational health problems among employees in the sector. Working around aquatic environment poses a special danger, and working alone at night increases the danger (Melvin L. Myers and Durborow, 2012).…”

Makale TarihçesiÖz-Alternatif gıda arzına cevap veren su ürünleri sektörü her geçen gün katlanarak büyümeye devam etmektedir. Bu nedenle su ürünleri yetiştiricilik tesislerinde artan iş yükünü karşılayacak insan gücüne ihtiyaç vardır. Her sektörde olduğu gibi su ürünleri yetiştiriciliğinde de çalışanlar için iş sağlığı ve güvenliği oldukça önemlidir. Mevcut çalışma, entegre bir alabalık yetiştirme tesisinde meydana gelebilecek vaka senaryolarına odaklanmıştır. Bu kapsamda toplam 79 farklı vaka senaryosu için uzman görüşleri değerlendirilmiştir. 5x5 matris yöntemi ile analiz edilen vaka senaryoları, tesis genelinde, kültür tanklarında, tuvaletlerde ve yem depolarında yüksek riskli vakaların oluşabileceğini göstermiştir. Tüm vaka senaryolarında en fazla risk sayısı orta risk kategorisinde gözlenmiştir. Orta risk kategorisinde, özellikle tesis için öngörülen vaka senaryolarının gerçekleşmesi durumunda çalışanların ölüm ve uzuv kaybı gibi sonuçlarla karşılaşma olasılığı bulunmaktadır. Proseslere göre 4 kümede toplanan vaka senaryoları için en düşük risk ortalamaları yemekhane ve soyunma odalarıdır.

“…Aquaculture workers are more vulnerable to occupational injuries and diseases due to inadequate health and safety management systems and lack of OHS preventive protocols in this sector. Furthermore, governments in low-income countries are somewhat indifferent to instituting adequate OHS measures (MYERS;DURBOROW, 2012;OLIVEIRA et al, 2017). A cornerstone of prevention is the anticipation, recognition, evaluation and control of risks in the work environment (GUERTLER, 2017).…”

The main objective of this study was to develop a freely available mobile software application and education platform in health and safety for aquaculture workers and managers. The application, called AquaSafe, was created in Portuguese and English for the Android system using the Java 8 programming language and the Android Studio development environment. AquaSafe content focusses on the identification of hazards and health risks, hazardous sources and preventive measures for occupational health and safety in the aquaculture sector. It has three predominantly interactive user interfaces to reinforce the main messages, which include games in the form of compliance checklists, quizzes and question-answer tools. The software is designed to act as a platform for assessment and management of occupational hazards, guide decision making on simple techniques or measures to prevent injuries, diseases and fatalities during aquaculture activities. It is envisaged that the AquaSafe mobile software will contribute to the prevention of occupational injuries and diseases in aquaculture.
