Traumatism of floating crew of the river fleet

Abstract Introduction Carriage of cargo on the river vessels is the most convenient and cost-effective mode of transport in countries with a developed system of navigable rivers and canals. The North river basin is one of the largest in extent and difficult navigation conditions on the territory of the Russian Federation. It covers the basins of major rivers of the Northern Dvina, Pechora, Mezen and Onega. The floating crew of river vessels transport household goods to the areas of the Republic of Komi, Archangelsk, Kirov and Vologda regions. In most serviced areas, river transport is the only mode of transport for carriage in bulk, so its role is of vital economic importance for the region. This article discusses the traumatisms of a floating crew of the river fleet. Materials and methods The analysis of accidents of floating crews of river fleets of the northern river basin covers 377 work-related injuries in river vessels with a temporary disability, as well as 462 medical histories of this contingent with various injuries admitted to a surgical hospital. River transport in many countries and regions is the only mode of transport for the transport of bulk goods. Their diversity, especially their loading, transportation and unloading by the floating crew, leads to increased psychological stress among members of the deck crew and captains of river vessels.
