Fishermen are in one of the most hazardous industries, with high rates of job-related injury, strenuous labor, and harsh weather. AgriSafe is working to reduce occupational health disparities among fishermen. We believe that a continued focus on safety culture in the workplace can improve worker safety behavior and risk reduction practices.
