The Steps for Preventing the Fishing Vessel Accidents

Alisa Martin

Accidents on fishing vessels happen as a result of intricate interactions between environmental, technical, and human variables. Investigators and preventative educators are focused with technological issues and equipment, despite the fact that they typically result from human acts, attitudes, or behaviour. Though these viewpoints must be expanded, equipment, machinery, weather, and other factual factors are vital. Accident investigators and educators who focus on accident prevention should base their techniques on interpretivist, radical structuralist, radical humanism, and functionalist theories. These several viewpoints were used to examine what transpired during the sinking of the Canadian fishing boat Scotia Cape. The “free surface effect,” which is significant as a consequence, not a cause, of the accident, is what caused it to likely roll over and sink, according to the transportation safety board report. The root of the problem is found in the imbalance of power between the firm and the crew as well as between the captain and the crew, in their “false awareness,” and in their individualised perceptions of risk and safety. Utilise of strategies that elicit and use the learner’s background and experience would be a part of prevention programmes influenced by interpretivist, radical humanism, radical structuralist, and radical functionalist viewpoints. Since the fishing fleet is so diverse, material would be adjusted to the local environment. Less lecturing and more active student participation would characterise participatory prevention education procedures.
