Fatal accidents and non-fatal injuries amongst seamen in lceland 2001-2005
Objectives: This study aims at getting a comprehensive
view of the incidence, nature and circumstances leading
up to injuries in lcelandic waters in 2001 -2005.
Material and methods: The NOMESCO database at
Landspitali University Hospital registers prospectively
accidents at sea treated in the Emergency Department,
including circumstances leading to the accident, vessel
type, experience, task being performed, weather
conditions etc. The lcelandic Marine Accident Investigation
Board provided data on fatal injuries, and additional
information on injuries at sea was collected from the
Social Insurance Administration (SIA).
Results: Of 17 fatal accidents occurring in 2001-2005
14 were work related which amounts to 54/100.000
seamen/year. The SIA received 1787 injury reports (7% of
registered seamen), 826 sought assistance at Landspitali,
52 were admitted with an average injury severity score
of 5.5 (1-16) and no ensuing fatalities. Most accidents
occurred on fishing vessels (87%), 51% thereof on
trawlers. Experienced fishermen are most commonly
injured, working on deck in daylight and stable weather.
Conclusions: Fatalities have declined steadily in the last
two decades, yet 7% of registered fishermen sustain
injuries each year. These occur amongst experienced
fishermen in good external conditions, which calls for
revision of safety procedures on board.
