Development of fatigue, accident experiences and safety culture relationships to the risk of fishing perception on the accidents of fishing vessel small and medium

Working at sea is associated with many challenges and risk in the job, such as a high workload, inappropriate working hours, minimum time for hanging out with family and increasing the risk of accidents. When an accident occurs, the perception of the risk of occupational accidents seafarers increased so that all workers start to think about their safety. Fatigue is one of the factors that can affect the seafarer safety. Fatigue among the seafarers is affected by lack of sleep duration and low sleep quality. Besides fatigue, accidental experiences can also influence risk perceptions. When the workers themselves or their friends see or experience an accident, it is likely to increase the risk of accidents perception among the workers. In addition to fatigue and accident experience, safety culture can also affect the perception of risk. Safety training, hazard identification and risk assessment, safety awareness and incident reporting are several factors that can be used to assess the safety culture. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the influence of fatigue, sleep quality, accident experiences and safety culture on the risk perception of fishermans who works at the Indonesian maritime territoires.
