Abstract
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is the federal government agency responsible for conducting research and making recommendations for the prevention of work-related injury and illness. In 2010, NIOSH published an in-depth study of commercial fishing fatalities due to traumatic injury that occurred in the United States during 2000-2009. NIOSH recently completed a five-year update (2010-2014) to the previous study in order to identify current hazards among fisheries in different regions of the country: Alaska, West Coast, East Coast, and the Gulf of Mexico. This document is one in a set of four reports summarizing the most recent fatality and vessel disaster data for US fishing regions.
