Work-related accidents and injuries in Baltic fishermen.
Data on the incidence of work-related accidents and injuries in Baltic fishermen employed on medium-size and small fishing vessels were collected during 9 years, and were compared with this incidence in the control group of shore workers, and in a group of deep-sea fishermen surveyed previously. The non-fatal and fatal injuries in Baltic fishermen occurred much more frequently, than in deep-sea fishermen employed on large ocean-going trawlers-factory ships. This may be related to the difference in the conditions of work on various types of fishing vessels.
