Factores humanos, técnicos y psicosociales de la accidentalidad laboral en el sector pesquero de Galicia

Abstract

This doctoral thesis focuses on the study of occupational accidents in the Galician fishing sector. The statistics studied are formed by the manpower, the fleet and the occupational accidents rate. The characteristics of each one have been studied, such as composition, causes, form and evolution of the same. This doctoral thesis offers an explanation of the occupational accidents in the Galician fishing sector under the triple vision of human, technical and psychosocial factors according to the parameters of the UDC's doctoral program in Social and Behavioral Sciences. It explains what has been the trigger for the registered accidents and facilitates their study so that the technicians who carry out their functions in the sector can implement the necessary measures to mitigate them or bring them to tolerable levels. Although great efforts have been made by the different actors involved since the entry into vigour of the Law on the Prevention of Occupational Risks, the fight against occupational accidents in the sector continues, and all contributions, especially from the scientific community, are appreciated. This doctoral thesis is a contribution from a point of view outside the sector, with an impartial and objective view of the health and safety situation, the fleet and professionals of the sector in Galicia.
