The Fisherman First Aid Safety Training (FFAST) developed by Oregon State University and Oregon Sea Grant to address the specific first aid needs of commercial fishermen responding to workplace injuries on their vessels was highlighted in an article by The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).

Funding for delivering FFAST comes from the Commercial Fishing Occupational Safety Research & Training Program, administered jointly by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) and the CDC’s National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). This grant program offers $6 million in funding each year to eligible organizations to advance fishing safety research and provide targeted, regionally appropriate training for the nation’s commercial fishermen.
