Most Powerful Thing... Deck Safety Awareness for Purse Seiners

This is a short version (preview) of NIOSH's video designed to help crew members be more aware of safety hazards on board vessels. To view the entire video please use the following link (URL): http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/video/seining.html. It features interviews with fishermen about their experiences working around, and in some cases being injured by, the capstan winch. The video highlights an engineering solution developed to help prevent injuries that occur as a result of getting entangled around the winch.
