Abstract The National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH) has recognized commercial fishing as one of the most hazardous occupations in the U.S. The objective of this project is to reduce work-related fatalities and injuries among commercial fishermen. This will be achieved through safety training of commercial fishermen and instructors in California, Oregon, and Washington, new training equipment and educational resources for use by instructors teaching marine safety to commercial fishermen, and Personal Flotation Devices provided to commercial fishermen to directly address the highest risks of injuries and fatalities for commercial fishermen. Outcomes of this project will be 24 new Drill Conductor instructors, 360 new Drill Conductors, 90 young fishermen trained, 120 fishermen trained in stability, update and distribution of the Marine Safety Instructor-Training manual and instructor resources, PFDs distributed at a low rate to 300 fishermen who complete Drill Conductor workshops, and training equipment and educational materials purchased. This training proposal uses R2P to take training research on the causes of injuries and fatalities from NIOSH and other epidemiologists, as well as casualty reports from USCG and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) reports and “lessons learned” into all aspects of our curriculum. We also use r2p derived materials on our website and educational publications we produce and incorporate r2p into all educational materials and in instruction. This proposal conforms to 46 U.S.C. 4502 (i) Safety Standards for commercial fishing safety training and address FI-01 and FI-04 of the National Occupational Research Agenda for Fishing: 1. Reduce the risk of fatal and non-fatal injuries in the commercial fishing sub-sector. 2. Reduce injuries and illness in the vulnerable worker populations in the fishing sub- sector.
