Norwegian fish farming has traditionally taken place in open net pens at the coast and in the fjords. With the aim of utilising new areas, innovative farm designs for open ocean locations have emerged in recent years. The government is developing a regulatory framework for operating in these areas...

Marine and maritime operations are various in terms of purpose and complexity, and the safety management of these operations can be approached from many angles. Some of the safety research is thus specialized within one discipline or operation, although the industry could benefit from a broader...

...maintenance and daily inspections. Furthermore, fish farming is the second most risk-exposed occupation in Norway after being a fisherman (Aasjord and Holmen 2009, Holen et al. 2017a & 2017b). The harsher operating conditions set stricter requirements to maintenance and safety management strategies. ...

Introduction Norwegian aquaculture employees are exposed to a high accident risk compared to other industries. Today's open-sea fish farm production requires workers present at the fish farm daily performing manual tasks to ensure fish welfare and maintain farm structures. There is thus a need for...

BACKGROUND: Fishers exposed to unfavourable environmental conditions may suffer negative health ef- fects. This study aimed to identify musculoskeletal symptoms in professional fishers in Norway using data from several sources; register data, telephone survey and questionnaire. MATERIALS AND...

Objectives The Norwegian government declared Vision Zero for serious injuries and fatalities for everyone working at sea in 2022. Occupational accident rates in the Norwegian fishing fleet are higher than those for other maritime industries, and measures must be based on a thorough knowledge of...

Arbeidsmiljøet for fiskere preges av store helsepåkjenninger. Ulykkesstatistikker viser at til tross for ulike tiltak er fiskeryrket fremdeles et av de mest risikofylte yrker i Norge. Det har ikke vært mangel på gode forslag til helseforebyggende tiltak tidligere, men det har vært vanskelig å følge...

Denne rapporten beskriver resultater fra en spørreskjemaundersøkelse om sikkerhetsstyring i oppdrettsnæringen. Ledelse og stabspersonell har vurdert sikkerhetsforhold som kan påvirkes av ledelsen, som opplæring, tilsyn, prosedyrer og rapporteringssystemer. Det deltok 135 personer fra næringen, med...

While researchers have called for a global commitment to occupational health and safety (OHS) in aquaculture, this topic is seldom a part of the sustainability discourse in salmon fish farming. To provide updated knowledge regarding OHS in Norwegian salmon farming and identify possible determinants...

The expansion of aquaculture production into more exposed harsh and remote ocean environments presents both new opportunities and challenges. To manage the complexities of exposed operations, research into fish welfare, personnel safety, and facilitating technology is thus of key importance. This...

Havbruksnæringen er avhengig av kompetente medarbeidere som alle har rett på et forsvarlig og sikkert arbeidsmiljø. For å etablere kunnskap og tiltak for sikre operasjoner og helsefremmende arbeidsplasser i havbruksnæringen ble prosjektet "HMS i havbruk –Risikostyring i ulike produksjonsformer...

Background: Fishery is an important industry in Norway. Compared to other industries the number of occupational accidents is high. Fishers are exposed to a range of unfavourable working conditions, but there is limited research-based knowledge about the interaction between working conditions and...

Background Aquaculture workers are exposed to several workplace hazards. Norwegian fish farming has a high occupational injury rate. This article provides new knowledge about workers' perceptions of their health and work environment. Methods The study is based on data collected in a telephone...
