About
Falling overboard is the second leading cause of death among commercial fishermen nationwide. And the reason for that? Not wearing a personal flotation device (PFD). In fact, none of the 191 fishermen who died in the U.S. between 2000 and 2013 were wearing a PFD when they drowned. These posters are part of the Live to be Salty multi-media health communication intervention, an effort by NIOSH and its partners to reduce drownings by promoting the use of PFDs on board commercial fishing vessels.
