Occupational health and safety in Aquaculture under Brazilian perspective

Aquaculture has many occupational hazards, including those that are physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, and injuries. As a business under rapid expansion, aquaculture requires specific and well-established industry studies, programs, and policies. Here, I will present some overview of risks and hazards, decent work, minorities and social organization of work, and some official and survey collected injury data. In addition, I will show a digital tool to act as a platform for the assessment and management of occupational risks, and guide decision-making on simple techniques or measures to prevent injuries, diseases, and fatalities during aquaculture activities.

Presented by Department of Geography
