Down the accidents of the marine ones in the field of the peach



In Italy the field of the peach, that it totals about 50% of the production total of the fishing fleet that work in the Mediterranean, has recorded a decrease of the accidents for the marine ones. "According to relationship they fishes" introduced yesterday from the Inail to Civitavecchia near cultural the historical Center of the Harbour office and reported to period 2004-2008 (last data available) evidences as in the 2008 denunciations of accident in the section of small fishing they are diminished of 7.7% regarding 2004 coming down from 405 to 374 (with a total of 17 have an accident mortal), while in fishing offshore the denunciations are dropped of 32% coming down from 253 in 2004 to 172 in 2008 (with a total of 35 mortal cases). Altogether in the 2008 denunciations of accident they have been 546, with a bending of 17.0% regarding 658 in 2004. Regarding these data, but, the Inail emphasizes as the total course it can considerably affect the phenomenon of the sottodenuncia.

In complex the section of the peach in Italy occupies some 28.000 people. The field of small fishing, that a meager presence of fishermen employee (in average 50 anticipates the year) regarding independent workers (2,700) and to the associates of cooperatives (15,700), shows an occupational decrement of 3% in quinquennium 2004-2008, while that offshore appoints to a job some 10.000 people. Draft - the Inail specifies - of undershoot numbers to cause also to the impossibility to know the consistency of the not regular workers and the attache's to the vallicoltura, miticoltura and oyster culture.

The relative information to the industrial accidents recorded altogether in the field of the peach come almost exclusively from the two institutes insurers, Inail and former Ipsema, than - until the effectiveness of the law n. 122/2010, than have unified them - they had aimed at of "cover" distinguished: the Inail fishing in internal waters, small marine fishing (working independent or floating cooperatives with until 10 tons of tonnage) and the complementary activities of vallicoltura, miticoltura and oyster culture, and the former Ipsema fishing offshore lead with floating of advanced tonnage to the 10 tons and, in general terms, the employees.

Regarding the accidents of tightened competence of the Inail of the quinquennium 2004-2008, riferibili to the section of the small peach, the average of the episodes of mortal outcome, pairs to about three recorded cases every year - the institute explains - too much constitute a meager value for being able to allow any type of analysis. However, one finds that the falls from above - between the causes more common than mortal incidents to earth - are still more frequent on board of the fishings boat. The insufficient numerosity of the accidents been necessary from the independent workers, to which afferisce only 5% of the denunciations also representing this force job about 14% of the complex of the insured persons, ago to think that also this field is interested by the phenomenon of the sottodenuncia. As it happens in almost the totality of other fields of economic activity - the Inail observes - are own this the worker type who stretches not to denounce the cases more light than accident in order not to interrupt own working activity. To being interested from the phenomenon probably also the other working categories of the peach, sight exiguity of the incidence index industrial accident research. Exiguity in contradiction with the note rischiosità of the field, identified to European level as one of most dangerous with a risk to have an accident of 2,4 times greater of the average European.

Regarding the section of fishing offshore, for the accidents of competence of the former Ipsema, that they turn out exactly between 2004 and 2008 down of 32% - still explains the institute - the sparsity of the numbers and the weight that can assume the accidental oscillations of the phenomenon suggests to consider such bending with the opportune cautions. To signal that - if to the period of analysis considered in the Relationship years 2009 and 2010 join - the decrease of the accidents in fishing offshore becomes less consisting and turns out pairs to 18.6%. The decrease of the accidents is bound together to a bending of the number estimated of "assigned year". The gravity relationship (relationship between serious accidents and total of the compensated cases) in the fishing assured with the former Ipsema turns out almost always (except in the 2008) inferior one to that of the other categories, but decidedly more elevated than that found from Inail in small fishing.

Sul depositor of the occupational diseases is from emphasizing the strong prevalence of muscle-skeletal pathologies in the population of the fishermen. In fact, from the data on the recorded common diseases from the former Ipsema for years 2004-2008, clean predominance of practical relative is obvious to this within (about 60%), than partially they could be due to a physiological degeneration of the apparatus, partially could instead be "disturbances from stress repeated physicists", that is to turn out the effect of specific carried out activities on board of the boats from peach (as for example handling of heavy cargos by hand or with the force of the body).

The Inail characterizes for the small one fishes which main places of accident not those on water (29%) but those to earth (71%), where the main operations of cargo and drainage are concentrated goods (16%). Based on the physical activity detailed list - that it describes the activity carried out from the victim to the moment of the accident - turns out that 80% of the accidents happen for manual transport (28%): activity that comprises as well as the refuel/defuel goods how much the displacement of objects on the boat; the manipulation of objects and job with tools by hand (respective 22% and 10%); i/la movements/presence (20%): activities that go completing movements to the simple one to be you anticipate at the work place.

To prevail as accident modalities are the falls, the collision with objects contusing and the movements of the body during the manual transport and the manipulation of objects, been profitable still riskier and you attend from the often bathed paving, blocks of nets and ropes and from the smaller stability due to the fluctuation of the boat. Beyond 90% of the accidents it provokes wounds, contusions, luxations and fractures, than years are distributed for age evidencing a greater concentration in class 35-49. About the half of the accidents it interests the hand, the foot, the knee and the ankle and a accident on four it interests the spinal column or the wall and the thoracic crawler track.

The former Ipsema offshore characterizes as greater place of accident navigation, about 86% (given 2007). The hit parts of the body more are hands and fingers - in general terms arts - that they turn out most vulnerable (56.4% of the events). From the point of view of the gravity of the accidents, you notice yourself that 16.4% have provoked of the consequences serious (degree of incapacity comprised between 6 and 100 or died). The lesions to hands and fingers I am in great part riconducibili to the handling of cables and equipments from fishing, above all to the use of winches and cables in traction. Beyond 60% of the events it has happened for "vertical or in motion horizontal crushing". On the whole, therefore, it can be asserted that about the half of the accidents a fall, due mostly to skidding or inciampamento happen as a result of. From the point of view of the prevention measures the Relationship suggests to place attention to the problem of safety of the paving and the scales, than often on the ships from fishing they are slippery because of the presence of residual of the fished one and also rich of it blocks and tops in which to entangle itself.

"According to relationship they fishes" supplies also given on the ittica production in Italy that, comprised the aquaculture, after a meaningful period of bending from 2003 to 2008 - pairs to 10.8% - in 2009 has recorded an light increment touching quota 475,000 tons (regarding the 464,000 of the year precedence). In general terms, the total contraction would have been also advanced without the contribution of the aquaculture: this last section represents 51.1% of the production of 2008 and has grown from 2003 of 23.9%. The marine peach (without the breeding) whose production in 2008 has been pairs to about 227.000 tons, in the same year, 2008 quickly has against a decrease of beyond 31% and, if the increment of 5% recorded between 2005 and 2006 is neglected, the capture, in the period, always have turned out down. In the 2008 - last year of considered observation - decrement it goes led back mainly to the reduction of the fishing fleet, to the decrease of consequent day's works to the increase of the cost of the fuel. The cost of the fuel, for example, in 2008 has affected medium for 57% on the intermediate costs and for 38.1% the total costs. To all this it goes added that the decrease of the capture is not accompanied by an increase of the prices to the production that have turned out stable or quite decreasing. 2010, second the Ismea (Institute of Services for the Alimentary Agricultural Market), would have to more mark a new one for national the ittica production: a rise of 2.2% to forehead but of a decrease of the consumption of the fresh fish of 5% is estimated.
