Commercial Fishing Safety Foundation 14 min

ILO C188

Decent work, welfare, health, and operational safety for fishers.

Explain the Work in Fishing Convention and its practical effect on life and work on board. Cover minimum age, medical fitness, fishers’ work agreements, accommodation, food, water, medical care, occupational safety, and social protection. Emphasise that welfare supports safety because poor rest, poor food, unclear terms, and untreated illness all increase risk.
