Tiivistelmä
The risk of injury and death due to occupational accidents is in the order of magnitude ten times higher for seafarers than for general population on land. Many maritime authorities publish maritime occupational accident data, but the comparisons and benchmarking are difficult between nations for several reasons. Differences are typical in definitions of occupational accidents, the number of persons and time at risk on-board. Also sizes and types of ships which are included in each statistics differ. Further, the incentives that persons on-board have for reporting of the accidents are variable.
A case study of the statistics of four Nordic countries was carried out and the details of the accidents reporting were inquired for each country. A joint method of occupational accident statistics was proposed for the Nordic countries and further recommended for international use.
