Navigating mental health needs at sea
Seafarers play a vital yet often underrecognized role in sustaining global trade, facing unique mental health challenges, that was further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Existing literature underscores elevated risks of anxiety, depression, and suicide among seafarers, heightened by isolation, extended contracts, and diminished shore leave. This is the first qualitative study exploring seafarer mental health needs and support use in Canadi…
Precariousness and vulnerability
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected the world and work in particular, but its effects on the labor market were not evenly distributed. Seafarers, who are essential workers engaging in international maritime transport, encountered exacerbated challenges to labor conditions at sea during the pandemic. Notably, the inability to conduct crew changes violated their right to rest, increasing the risk of fatigue-related safety accidents at sea.…
Occupational noise exposure at sea
Introduction: Noise is a significant health hazard for fish harvesters. Chronic exposure to hazardous noise levels of 85 dB (A) for an 8-h work shift can have adverse health impacts, including both auditory and non-auditory health problems such as noise-induced hearing loss, stress, hypertension, sleeping disorders, and impaired cognitive performance. Methods: A review of legislation and policies governing workplace noise exposure, as well as qua…
Port-based seafarers’ welfare in Canada
Introduction to special issue on governance and fishing health and safety in the North Atlantic
Effets de la pandémie sur la sécurité et la santé des gens de mer, ces travailleurs clés du secteur maritime
Si la pandémie a bouleversé le monde du travail, elle n'a pas entièrement paralysé le commerce international, ce moteur essentiel de l'activité économique, ni le transport maritime, dont dépend l'acheminement de plus de 90 pour cent des marchandises mondiales. Cependant, en raison des restrictions destinées à freiner la propagation du virus, les gens de mer ont souvent été empêchés de quitter leur navire et de rentrer chez eux. L'autrice analyse …
Enforcement of fishing Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) standards
Fishing is a hazardous occupation worldwide with a poor health and safety record. Between 2010 and 2020, an average of 236 marine accidents were reported to the Canadian Transportation Safety Board (TSB) and an average of 33 % involved fishing vessels. Like fisheries governance more generally, governance of fishing health and safety is a wicked problem, which cannot be solved once and for all but tends to reappear. While there are no panaceas for…
Workers’ rights defence on China's internet
The discourse of ‘rights defence’ (weiquan), referring to the grassroots’ struggle for legal redress after their lawful interests are encroached upon, has gained increasing popularity in China in the last two decades. Given the ubiquity of the Internet nowadays, rights defence activities also take place online; in a small number of cases, they develop into a form of online activism. But what determines or contributes to the online visibility of s…
