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.

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
