Reinstatement with Change—(OMB 

Number 0920–0787, expiration date 8/

Occupational Safety and Health

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

NIOSH has the responsibility under 

Pub. L. 91–596 section 20 (Occupational 

Safety and Health Act of 1970) to 

conduct research relating to innovative 

methods, techniques, and approaches 

for dealing with occupational safety and 

health problems. 

Commercial fishing is one of the most 

dangerous occupations in the United 

States, with a fatality rate 30 times 

higher than the national average. Most 

fishermen who die on the job drown 

subsequent to a vessel sinking (52%) or 

fall overboard (31%). Because drowning 

is the leading cause of death for 

commercial fishermen, its prevention is 

one of the highest priorities for those 

who work to make the industry safer. 

The risk of drowning for commercial 

fisherman is high, yet most fishermen 

do not wear Personal Flotation Devices 

(PFDs) while on deck. Of the 182 

fishermen who died from falls 

overboard between 2000 and 2011 none 

of them were wearing a personal 

flotation device (PFD). Many were 

within minutes of being rescued when 

they lost their strength and disappeared 

under the surface of the water. 

NIOSH recently conducted a study to 

establish a baseline understanding of 

Alaska fishermen’s perceptions of risk, 

safety attitudes, and beliefs about PFDs; 

and to evaluate a variety of modern 

PFDs with commercial fishermen to 

discover the features and qualities that 

they like and dislike. Based upon these 

results, NIOSH developed an intensive 

risk communication strategy to raise 

awareness to newer (potentially more 

satisfactory) PFD models, to address 

barriers, and to encourage increased 

PFD use among fishermen working in 

Alaska. 

The purpose of this study is to first, 

determine if fishermen’s perception of 

risk, safety attitudes, and beliefs about 

PFDs has shifted or remained the same 

since the implementation of the initial 

survey (2008–2009); and second, to 

evaluate the effectiveness of the NIOSH 

intensive risk communication 

intervention.
