National Fishing Industry Safety and Health Workshop
CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) will sponsor the National Fishing Industry Safety and
Health (FISH) Workshop October 9-11, 1992, in Anchorage, Alaska.
The FISH workshop will provide fishing industry employers and
workers, scientists, and government representatives an overview of
national and local efforts to understand the risks involved in
commercial fishing and to develop safety solutions to reduce the
personal losses and severe economic burdens characteristic of this
industry. The workshop's goals are to increase awareness about
fishing safety, build cooperation, share information and
experiences, and encourage action to prevent injury and disease
that result from working in this industry.
There is no registration fee. Additional information and the
workshop program are available from Alaska Activity, Division of
Safety Research, NIOSH, telephone (907) 271-2382.
