Denne rapporten er en oppsummering av arbeidet i forskningsområdet "Sikkerhet og risikostyring" i SFI EXPOSED. Risikobildet som er beskrevet, viser at mer kan gjøres for å bedre sikkerheten i havbruk. Sikkerhetsutfordringer på lokaliteter som brukes i dag, må håndteres i driften av nye...

The oceans will become the major contributor to the needed increase in global food production towards 2050. The fish farming industry is characterised by operations that are susceptible to changing weather, wind and currents, and face challenges when it comes to safety for fish and personnel...

Background Safety management is required to ensure health and safety of personnel in Norwegian fish farming. However, few studies have addressed the status and practical relevance of this risk-reducing measure. Methods This article provides new knowledge through interviews with...

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) are gathering an overview of the global, regional and national terrain of aquaculture/fish farming occupational health and safety and related social and welfare impacts. This report is Norway's national profile and presents the status of occupational...

Rapporten presenterer analyser av personulykker i den norske fiskeflåten basert på to kilder: SINTEF Oceans database (yrkesdød 2000-2022) og personulykker meldt til og registrert av Sjøfartsdirektoratet (2000-2022). I tillegg er granskingsrapporter av fiskeriulykker fra Statens havarikommisjon...

BACKGROUND: Shift work is related to fatigue and desynchronization with the external environment. This study investigates how 6-h shifts and 12-h shifts affects sleep and safety in workers onboard offshore supply vessels, and if any differences exist between the two working schedules. MATERIAL AND...

ABSTRACT Fishing is one of the most dangerous occupations, and as many as 24,000 fishermen around the world suffer fatal injuries or drowning at sea every year. Although fishermen in the European fishing fleet work in harsh and dangerous environments, many fishermen do not use personal...

The Norwegian aquaculture industry is accident prone compared to other industries and employees report a high number of near-accidents. Furthermore, escape of fish is a challenge for the industry. There is a potential for increased safety for both humans and fish if operators can practice operations...

Since the late 1980s, Norwegian fishers have been subjected to a cohesive regulatory regime aimed at sustainable resource management. Despite high occupational injury rates and exposure to several factors that may influence health negatively, regulation of occupational health and safety (OHS) came...

Objectives: In Norwegian aquaculture, safer technology and better safety management systems have been developed during the last decade. Safety commitment and safe behavior are still vital to ensure a safe working environment. The objective of this paper is to explore what factors might influence the...

Norwegian fish farms are expanding into more exposed sites due to a lack of sheltered coastal locations and growing negative ecological consequences close to land. The severe wave and current conditions, irregular and often high winds, sheer remoteness, and limited weather window amplify the hazards...

Commercial fishing has a high accident rate compared to other industries. In the Nordic countries, analyses show a decline or stagnation in personal accidents in fisheries during the past few years. However, our knowledge of "what works" in preventing accidents in this branch is limited. This...

Few studies have explored the potential connection between safety climate and health issues. However, some recent research findings indicate that a poor safety climate can be considered a stressor that may be associated with physical symptoms and musculoskeletal complaints. This link is further...

Det er foretatt en tidlig HMS-vurdering av en ny prosesslinje for mekanisert og delvis automatisert bløgging av torskefisk fanget med snurrevad. Hensikten med å innføre en slik prosesslinje med elektrisk bedøving og automatisk bløgging av levende torskefisk, er å oppnå en smartere prosess som fører...

Rapporten presenterer funn fra Fiskerhelseundersøkelsen 2014. Fokus rettes mot sammenhenger mellom arbeid, arbeidsmiljø og helse hos norske yrkesfiskere. Basert på en spørreundersøkelse blant 1000 fiskere utdypes fiskernes selvrapporterte helseplager, eksponeringer i arbeidsmiljøet samt hvorvidt...

Background: All over the world, commercial fishing is known to be a hazardous occupation. Although several causal analyses of occupational accidents have been published in recent years, knowledge of the prevalence of sick leave, diagnosis and hospitalization among workers on board Norwegian...

Personulykkesstatistikken viser at fiskeriet fortsatt må regnes som et av de mest risikofylte yrker i Norge. Det er i dette prosjektet spesielt gjort undersøkelser knyttet til arbeidsoperasjoner i fiskeflåten som er overrepresentert i statistikken mht skader og ulykker. Vi har benyttet en...

The aquaculture industry in Norway produced 1.3 million metric tons of fish in 2014, and further expansion is expected if the main sustainability challenges related to production and operation are mitigated. Major biological, operational and environmental challenges are parasite infection, fish...
