According to the Transportation Safety Board (TSB), an average of 11 fish harvesters per year don’t make it home as a result of unsafe working conditions, and practices on board and around fishing vessels. And they say the vast majority of fishing fatalities are avoidable. The TSB has released Watchlist 2022 which identifies the key safety issues that need to be addressed. Over the last 30 years, the TSB has issued 49 recommendations, and 8 of the are still active. Regulators, vessel owners and fish harvesters each must take ownership of safety to reduce accidents and loss of life. Ken Potter is a current TSB member and a former investigator. He takes us through his experiences as a mariner and his advice as someone looking to make it a safer workspace for all.
