NL-FHSA

The Newfoundland and Labrador Fish Harvesting Safety Association (NL-FHSA) Incorporated is a not-for-profit organization without capital share. The association was incorporated in 2011 and became operational in 2012 to address workplace injuries, illnesses, and fatalities in one of the world's most dangerous occupations-commercial fishing. It is industry-driven, leading the promotion of safety education and awareness initiatives in the fish harvesting industry in Newfoundland and Labrador. The overall goal of the NL-FHSA is to improve the health and safety of fish harvesters and to save lives at sea. There is nothing more important to fish harvesters than returning home safely to their loved ones, their friends, and their communities... In addition to the Board of Directors, the NL-FHSA is supported by an Advisory Committee whose members represent a number of government agencies at the federal and provincial levels, as well as non-governmental stakeholders.
