Workers, particularly outdoor workers, are among the populations most disproportionately affected by climate-related hazards. However, scientific research and control actions to comprehensively address these hazards notably absent. To assess this absence, a seven-category framework was developed in 2009 characterize literature published from 1988 through 2008. Using framework, second assessment examined 2014, current one examines 2014 2021. The objectives were present that updates related...
The occupational fatality rate among commercial fishermen decreased in the United States during 1992-2008; however, fishing continues to be one of most dangerous occupations States, with an average annual 129 deaths per 100,000 2008. By contrast, all US workers same period was four workers. During 1990s, numerous safety interventions were developed for Alaska fisheries that resulted a significant decline state's rate. In 2007, National Institute Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)...
Translation research in occupational safety and health is the application of scientific investigative approaches to study how outputs basic applied can be effectively translated into practice have an impact. This includes ways which useful knowledge interventions are disseminated, adopted, implemented, institutionalized. In this paper, a 4‐stage framework (Development, Testing, Institutionalization, Evaluation) presented. used enhance use impact protect workers. type has not received much...
Abstract Background Commercial fishing in Alaska accounts for an occupational fatality rate that is 28 times the all U.S. workers. Most deaths are attributed to vessel sinking or capsizing. However, many and most non‐fatal injuries not related loss. This paper describes occur on dock vessel. Methods Data from fatalities between 1991–1998 were analyzed using Occupational Injury Surveillance System Trauma Registry. Results There 60 workplace unrelated loss; falls overboard, others trauma...
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness of United States Commercial Fishing Industry Vessel Safety Act 1988 in reducing high occupational death rate (200/100,000/year 1991-2) among Alaska's commercial fishermen. METHODS: Comprehensive surveillance deaths fishing was established by our office during 1991 and 1992 for Alaska. Demographic data on risk factors incidents were compiled analysed trend. RESULTS: During 1991-8, there a significant (p < 0.001) decrease Alaska related to fishing....
Commercial fishing is one of the most dangerous jobs in United States, with a 2016 work-related fatality rate (86.0 deaths per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers) 23 times higher than that for all U.S. workers (3.6) (1). Sinking vessels cause fatalities industry; however, falling from vessel serious hazard responsible second highest number commercial fishing-associated (2,3). CDC's National Institute Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) analyzed data on unintentional fatal falls...
Abstract Background Falls overboard are a major contributor to commercial fishing fatalities in Alaska. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health has repeatedly identified falls as critical issue safety. This article describes the problem of discusses possible ways reduce risk factors. Methods Data from Alaska Injury Surveillance System on fatal between 1990 2005 were used. An in‐depth descriptive analysis these was performed identify areas intervention. Results There 71...
The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected the health of food system (FS) essential workers compared with other and non-essential workers. Even greater disparity exists for in certain FS work settings worker subpopulations. We analyzed respondents (
ABSTRACT Background Workers onboard freezer‐trawl (FT) and freezer‐longline (FL) vessels in Alaska may be at high risk for fatal non‐fatal injuries. Methods Traumatic occupational injuries the FT FL fleets were identified through two government data sources. Results The annual of was 125 per 100,000 FTEs fleet, 63 fleet. 43 1,000 fleet 35 majority occurred factories freezer holds, whereas most common on deck while working fishing gear. Conclusions findings confirmed that workers those...
Airplanes and helicopters are integral to the management suppression of wildfires, often operating in high-risk, low-altitude environments. To update data on aviation-related wildland firefighting fatalities, identify risk factors, make recommendations for improved safety, CDC's National Institute Occupational Safety Health (NIOSH) analyzed reports from multiple sources period 2000-2013. Among 298 firefighter fatalities identified during 2000-2013, 78 (26.2%) were occupational that occurred...
Background This study explored perspectives of Northeast commercial lobstermen regarding the use personal flotation devices (PFDs). Researchers sought to identify factors contributing low PFD use, and motivators that could lead increased PFDs. Methods qualitative research (n = 72) included 25 fishermen who participated in in‐depth, semi‐structured interviews, 47 attendees Lobstermen's meetings engaged focus groups. Results The results showed substantial barriers use. Fishermen described...
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and describe the current problem drowning in Alaska, measure changes rates since earlier studies have been done compare occupational non-occupational characteristics.This a descriptive observational study, using existing records obtained from several sources victims event characteristics.Drowning fatality data were collected death certificates, law-enforcement reports news articles. Descriptive statistics risk ratios calculated levels based on...
Abstract During 2003–2010, the U.S. oil and gas extraction industry (onshore offshore, combined) had a fatality rate seven times higher than for all workers (27.1 versus 3.8 deaths per 100,000 workers). The 11 lives lost in 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion provide reminder of hazards involved offshore drilling. To identify risk factors to workers, Centers Disease Control Prevention’s National Institute Occupational Safety Health analyzed data from Census Fatal Injuries, comprehensive...
