“…Another study analyzing statements for accident compensation insurance payments by the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives (NFFC) indicated that the fatality associated with large purse-seine, large trawl, and stow net fishing on the coasts of South Korea, where fishing grounds cover large tidal ranges, was more than 20-fold that of the mean fatality in all industries. The main accident types reported during fishing are Struck by objects (SO) and Caught-in (CI) (Choi et al, 2019;Lee et al, 2015aLee et al, , 2015bLee et al, , 2016. In an overseas study on the risks of fishing the coasts of Norway, the risk was reported to be fairly low despite the high statistical values (Thorvaldsen, 2013), and a field survey on fishing in the US pointed out the need for safety education to improve the underestimated risks and safety awareness (Davis, 2012).…”
