Overview
and education programs that:
develop and deliver training which addresses the needs of commercial fishermen in the United States
provide qualified marine safety instructors, or otherwise accepted by the National Maritime Center instructors and faculty to conduct the training
evaluate the effectiveness and impact of the training program on reducing injuries among fishermen
coordinate with existing training programs and partnerships with industry fishermen, and agencies
conform to 46 U.S.C. § 4502 (i) Safety Standards for commercial fishing safety training
In order to support and administer the grant program, the Coast Guard and NIOSH signed a Memorandum of Understanding on May 17, 2018. While the Coast Guard, along with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), provides regulatory oversight for safety and health matters within the commercial fishing industry, NIOSH is an agency operating under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) with the mission of generating new knowledge in occupational safety and health and transferring that knowledge into practice to prevent worker injury, illness and death. NIOSH conducts and funds scientific research, develops methods to prevent occupational hazards, develops guidance and authoritative recommendations, translates scientific knowledge into products and services, disseminates information, identifies factors underlying work-related disease and injury and responds to requests for workplace health hazard evaluations.
