Fishermen Led Injury Prevention Program (FLIPP) for Lifejackets Mobile Program
In commercial fishing, lives have been lost and lifejackets not worn. The lives lost impact coastal communities and families. Vessel disasters and falls overboard account for most deaths. From 2000-2018 there were ninety-three fishermen who died in Washington and Oregon. Only five were wearing a lifejacket and of them, three were not wearing it properly. Weather decisions, navigation, vessel stability, as well as other prevention strategies are important to reduce vessel disasters.
Tracking Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing Health Indicators: RISC 2.0
Fatal and non-fatal injuries in the agriculture, forestry, and fishing sectors remain both elevated and poorly documented, compared to other work settings. The proposed surveillance project expands on the current Risk Information System for Commercial (RISC) Fishing, to encompass agriculture, forestry, and fishing in the four state (Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, Washington) PNASH region.
Project aims are to:
Health and Safety Solutions in Agriculture
New Online, On-Demand Courses
Safety Training & Tools for Managers & Health Educators
Offering information and tools to help agricultural safety managers and educators build and expand workplace safety training and programs. Each online course features practical resources, ready-to-use toolkits, and lessons learned developed by researchers and agricultural partners.
